About Spotify Web Player Hotkeys
Adds the following default keyboard shortcuts to open.spotify.com:
Play/Pause media key: play, pause – opens a Spotify tab Spotify if necessary!
Previous media key: previous track
Next media key: next track
There is no default shortcut, but you can also bind keys for:
Navigating to the home page or the search page – opens a Spotify tab if necessary!
Toggle shuffle
Toggle repeat (single song, whole playlist, disabled)
Toggle song like (since 2024, requires focusing the browser tab)
Toggle showing the queue sidebar
Toggle showing "now playing" sidebar
Toggle showing lyrics
Increase, decrease & mute volume
Seek backward & forward in both songs (±5 seconds) and podcasts (±15 seconds)
You can customize these shortcuts and make them global hotkeys (not just while Chrome is in focus) by opening chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
Warning: Chrome/Chromium is known to not correctly register hotkeys after you've changed them in chrome://extensions/shortcuts. Please restart your browser by visiting chrome://restart after changes to shortcuts/hotkeys if you experience issues.
This extension relies on the HTML/CSS structure of the website. Spotify might break it by changing their frontend. Please report issues by clicking on the Support link.
