FAQ

What are the most useful Spotify shortcuts?

Key Spotify shortcuts include Space to play/pause, Cmd+Right to skip to the next track and Cmd+Left to go back. Use Cmd+Up/Down to increase or decrease volume, and Cmd+Shift+Up/Down for larger volume jumps. Press Cmd+L to jump to the search bar, Cmd+F to filter in playlists, and Cmd+Shift+F to enter fullscreen. The Left/Right arrows seek within the current track.

How do I manage my queue in Spotify?

Press Cmd+U to open the Queue panel and see what's coming up next. Right-click any song and choose 'Add to queue' to add it after the current track. To remove a song from the queue, open it with Cmd+U and click the X next to the track. You can also drag and reorder songs in the queue. Press Cmd+Shift+R to toggle shuffle and Cmd+Shift+P to toggle repeat.

How do I navigate the Spotify library faster?

Use Cmd+1 to go to Home, Cmd+2 to go to Search, and Cmd+3 to open your Library. Press Cmd+Option+Left/Right to go back and forward in navigation history, like a browser. In a playlist, press Cmd+F to filter tracks by name. Cmd+N creates a new playlist, and Cmd+Shift+N creates a new folder to organize playlists.

Spotify keyboard shortcuts not working - how to fix?

If Spotify shortcuts aren't responding, make sure the Spotify window is focused and not minimized. Some shortcuts like Space for play/pause won't work if a text field is active — click on an empty area first. On macOS, media keys (F7, F8, F9) should work system-wide even when Spotify is in the background. If media keys are being captured by another app, check System Settings > Keyboard to see which app has priority.
