All Rekordbox 7 keyboard shortcuts (no download)

The keyboard shortcuts for the the Export Mode and Performance Mode are different.
For example: hitting the space-bar in the Export mode pauses the track, while in the Performance mode it hides the player decks.

Iā€™ve put keyboard shortcuts for both Mac and PC in this table.
In Windows you use the CTRL key, on Mac the CMD key (with the Apple logo) .
