Spotify Web Player Hotkeys Extension

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.

Francisco Samuel Heredia (ID: 000000bb713b5cbf) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/24/2024 Excelente, llevo usandolá hace 4 años y funciona perfecto. INDISPENSABLE para los que trabajamos escuchando música, me permite en todo momento administrar Spotify sin tener que recurrir a la app.

Alex (ID: 000000664bf039e1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/18/2023 Исправили проблему: Кнопки нажимаются во всех вкладках Spotify вместо одной какой-нибудь вкладки. Из-за этого происходит переход на столько песен вперед, сколько открыто вкладок.
