[Desktop] Keyboard Hotkey to queue Track(s)

I often browse my playlist and would love to be able to just quickly press something like the Q key to add the selected song(s) to the queue. Now I have to use my mouse again and it gets pretty annoying to quickly add songs to the playqueue.

 

Would love to have it more work like it did in programs like WinAmp. There you could just press Q to add the song to the queue, select multiple songs and in the playlist queue you could easily rearrange the songs. Now in Spotify it's a little harder to perform these things.

So now i'ts been more than 10 years of people asking for simple way of queueing songs instead of clicking and selecting an option from the drop menu, and Spotify simply doesn't care. Talk about developers not listening to the users!!! So frustrating.

yo! Spotify put this on priority. 😄 Thanks

There already is hotkeys for pausing music (spacebar). 

The functionality is already IN THE PROGRAM.

 

There is no reason why this has taken any longer than five minutes to add into the next build of the program. Zero excuse except that the program is abandoned unless it can be utilized to make more money.

+1.

Also, this should be expanded to cover the quick search, too. Right now, you can use the arrow keys to navigate, and shift+enter to play... BUT THERE IS NO ADD TO QUEUE!

I run into this daily. Please!

When I want to create a personalised set of songs to listen to afterwards, I'd like to avoid having to right-click and click on ‘Add to Queue’ for each song.
Instead, I'd like a combination of keys (like Ctrl+N for example) or even better the middle mouse button (actually useless) and this could be a toggleable feature in the settings.

 

This idea is more of a quality of life addition but I think it's nedeed.

Thanks in advance for thinking about this idea and have a nice day.

Totally disappointing. Why do the developers don't listen to de public? It
would improve so much the desktop app. No wonder why people are changing to
Deezer and Apple Music.

Unbelievable customer treatment from this company. Same with disabling Podcasts and videos. This happens when you have an a duopol.
