Can't remove a song from a playlist using the keyboard only

Solved!

Can't remove a song from a playlist using the keyboard only

Device

Dell Latitude 5520

Operating System

Windows 11

 

My Question or Issue

My goal is to remove a song from a playlist, using only the keyboard. To reproduce the bug:

  1. Ctrl-F to focus on the search bar
  2. Type the name of a song so that there is only one song in the search results
  3. Push the Tab key 3 times to focus on the songs list
  4. Push the Down key

The focus should be on the first (and only) song in the list, like it is the case if there are multiple songs in the search results.

Because I can't focus on the song, I can't use the Delete key.

 

Is it a bug, or something I don't understand ?

Hi @Coli!

 

I think I get what you mean. Note that when you navigate to the song in question with the Tab or the arrow keys, the song may not actually be "selected" and you just might be "hovering over" one of the elements, like the album, for example.

To select the song (as if you clicked on it with the mouse), you can press Alt + Enter while hovering over the artist, album or the person who added the song (for collaborative playlists). Once the song has been selected, you should be able to remove it with the Delete key.

 

After pressing Alt + Enter while hovering over the artist, the song is selected. One can tell by the different shade of grey.After pressing Alt + Enter while hovering over the artist, the song is selected. One can tell by the different shade of grey.

You can of course just navigate to the three dots menu using the arrow keys and manually select Remove from this playlist, but the downside is that it takes a few extra keystrokes.

 

Hope this clears things up. The Community is always here if there's anything else you need assistance with.
