Virtually all OSX applications have a common keyboard shortcut for Full Screen View: Control - Command - F Currently I have to use the mouse everytime I want to expand to Full Screen, and this would be very convenient. And make it feel more like Mac software and less of an exception to the rule. Thanks!

The "Search" feature used to be accessible from the drop down menus (I'm not sure which one.). Obviously, no one used it to initiate a search, but it was particularly convenient to set a "Search" shortcut (cmd + k is what I used), so that you wouldn't have to click into the search box repeatedly. I understand that this is a small issue, but the function certainly increases the efficiency of the application. Frankly, I wouldn't care if this feature had never been part of the application in the first place—it's just frustrating that with each new "update" Spotify manages to remove critical UI options and customization. I don't expect this idea to garner many "kudos," but I hope you'll implement it nevertheless. It's something that is easy to bring back; it will detract from no one and improve the experience of a few.

Are your playlists as long as mine are? I like variety. Only problem is that Spotify users have to manually scroll to get to an artist they want to listen to right then and there. When you have tons of artists in a certain playlist, that gets to be quite the time-consuming task. I think it would be extremely helpful to be able to key "G" and jump to that place in the playlist, if I want to listen to an artist/song/album I know starts with the letter "G." Hopefully you feel the same. Thanks! Jacklyn

In the desktop app I find sometimes I am listening to a radio station or subscribed to a playlist and I fall in love with a song. Problem is, the only way to star a song while I am somewhere else in the app is to click on the song's cover art, then mouse over the song playing in the list to see if I have starred it yet, then click star. How about just a little star next to say, the volume, or random buttons in the control bar to show if I have starred the track, and allowing me to star it right away? I think someone already posted an idea for a star shortcut key. This would also be ace, being able to map it to a function key or something similar to be able star even when the app is not in the foreground would be ace. EDIT: found the idea, go give it some kudos, http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Ideas/Add-Star-button-keyboard-short-cut/idi-p/111556

I use the Spotify app mostly on PC, and as I'm sure that most of me fellow PC users would agree, we love shortcuts and ways to do things faster. Before the last update you could add a song to your playlist by right clicking it, then typing the letter "A" (to select 'add to playlist') and then typing the first letter of the playlist's name. To make this even easier, I had added a letter (that was located in the left side of the keyboard) in front of each playlist. For example, "a Pop", "d Jazz", "q Japanese", "Electronic". That way I could add songs to the playlists by right clicking with my right hand and then typing "A" and finally typing 'A', 'D', 'E', 'Q', or 'S' (for Starred) with my left hand. I know it's not that big of a deal but it'd be nice to have that feature back and I think many PC users will love it if they learn about it.

I often have spotify playing while doing different stuff "afk". When I do so I mostly let my favorite playlist's radio play and hunt for new tracks. But it's -sometimes more, sometimes less- frustrating to stop what I'm doing just to add the playing track to my playlist. My idea: Something like "cmd + '+'" to add the track to the current playlist (the one the radio is based on). would be really awesome (I guess Shortcuts in general would be a great deal!)

Please add a "stop after current track" feature (yes, like in Winamp) and also a keyboard shortcut to queue a song. How about the Q-key for that?
