frypf / spotify-hotkeys

Chrome extension that adds keyboard shortcuts to play, pause, next, previous (and more) on Spotify Web.

Spotify Web hotkeys

Install from Chrome Web Store

Adds the following default keyboard shortcuts to https://open.spotify.com:

• Play/Pause media key: play, pause
• Previous media key: previous track
• Next media key: next track

There is no default shortcut, but you can also bind keys for:

• Open or focus Spotify then cycle between home, queue & search pages
• Toggle shuffle
• Toggle repeat (single song, whole playlist, disabled)
• Toggle song like
• 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 displaying Spotify) 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.

This extension relies on the HTML/CSS structure of the website. Spotify might break it by changing their frontend.

The code is short and simple.
