[Desktop] Keyboard Hotkey to queue Track(s)

[skarnl]

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.

Yes, agreed.

Hey folks, Spotify staff here. We're marking this new idea as "Good Idea, give it some kudos" now that is has over 100 kudos. Please keep leaving your feedback here and we'll bring it back to the teams at Spotify HQ--thanks!

I'd like to see the winamp classic q key shortcut, also some mod key + mouse click queue and i'd like to see it in current beta. THX!

Maybe something like ctrl + return/enter? Instead of playing the song directly, this shorcut will add to the queue.

[RidRack]

So it seems that the "right mouse button + q" option has just been removed in spotify 1.0.1.1060. Please put it back! For goodness sake I used that all day. At the very least allow me to bind the shortcut! 

A better option would be to add a definitive shortcut option such as "Ctrl+Q" or similar. 

Thanks guys. I don't really understand the design logic here.

Asked in 2012, not yet implemented in 2015! I mean come on, this feature is so simple to implement and it doesn't invalidate other uses cases!

There used to be a shift+enter (I think, or alt enter?) that worked to add a single song to queue, but since the last UI update a couple weeks ago this no longer works. booooo

shift/alt/ctrl + enter, or 'q' or ctrl/shift+q or whatever, anything works, just add to the already long list of shortcuts what's the problem? You have 250 +1's here on this thread alone, considering how few people would actually visit a forum and voice their requests rather than just assume the company doesn't give a s**t , this must be a clear signal no?

Come on bruhs!

Alt-mouseclick or if it was alt-doubleclick was a simple way to queue rather than play in Winamp. Worked very well and is a lot quicker than pulling out the menu.

Hey!

Can the Spotify team please give an update on how this is going? It cannot possibly be that difficult? What is the rationale behind literally not adding this function immediately? Would love to know. Thanks.

Same here 😉 Its just a few lines of code, cmon...
