By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Apple TV remote offers several underutilized shortcuts that can enhance user navigation and control. Users can force-quit applications by double-pressing the Home/Control Center button, similar to an iPhone or iPad. The remote also allows for quick audio source switching and access to a comprehensive Control Center menu for various settings by long-pressing the Home/Control Center button. Additionally, the clickpad can be used for precise video scrubbing, and a shortcut exists to toggle between lowercase and uppercase text entry by pressing the Play/Pause button. AI
