This app does not have traditional form submission. Instead, changing a setting (like shuffle, or the search query) will take effect when the track is advanced. And this happens either when the Next track button is clicked, or advance is on and either the current track ends or a decoding error occurs.
Keystroke interface features are documented on the Help page.
This app has built-in playback error detection. So for example, if advance is on and an error is detected, the app will attempt to load to the next track. And the same goes for shuffle mode. Now if none of the selected tracks (e.g. search results) can be loaded, the app will try each and fail. If shuffle is on and this happens, an infinite loop will occur. In order to stop this, just click the "Clear Search" button - the bold x button on the right of the search box or press the x key.
