playing custom local video playlist from Kodi

The way to play local videos as a playlist seems to be, as per this forum thread

right-click or C in the Files view to get the context menu for a video file,
choose to queue it,
the file view automatically jumps to the next file in the folder,
right-click or C and choose to queue it and so on,
and when all the required files are added,
left arrow for the hidden menu, choose Go to Playlist,
then choose Save - it will now ask you for a filename for the playlist.

In order to play this playlist, from the home screen,
choose Videos (NOT Movies)
choose Playlists
highlight the desired playlist,
C for context menu, and choose Play.
Or press P to play after highlighting the desired playlist,
after which you have to press TAB for full-screen video without the menu.

List of keyboard shortcuts is at https://kodi.wiki/view/Keyboard_controls

Most of the options like audio device are in the Kodi Settings (gear icon on top of home screen.) LibreElec settings for system name, keyboard layout, etc.
