Keyboard shortcuts
The default keys. Every action can be rebound (and more keys added) in Settings → Keyboard shortcuts, and the live list is always one key away: press ?.
Preview mode
While preview mode is on, Space and Enter fade the preview in, and ⇧ Space / ⇧ Enter cut — even when a button, slider or menu has focus (but not while you're typing in a text field). Outside preview mode, Space plays and pauses.
