Serato DJ Pro lets you mix and perform entirely from your laptop, and its keyboard shortcuts speed up the workflow when you are away from a controller. Load tracks, trigger cues and loops, fire samples, and navigate your library without touching the mouse. Shortcuts use a US keyboard layout: on Windows [control] maps to [Command] and [Alt] maps to [Option] on Mac. Note that if 'Playback Keys Use Shift' is enabled, playback keys also require Shift or Caps Lock.
