[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.

I really wish feature was available. Makes me miss Winamp.

Submitted in 2012, updated in 2017 and still not done? wth?!

I am glad I'm not the only one who needs this. 
I propose a setting to choose a default action when double-clicking a song. Options may include:
1) Play now (default)
2) Play next (add to the top of the queue)
3) Enqueue (add to the end of the queue)

The queue is very useful when meeting with friends and all of them want a song but I don't want anyone to interrupt someone else's song.

Hey folks,



Thanks for coming to the Community, and adding your vote to this idea!



We're setting this idea to 'Not Right Now', as this isn't something we have any immediate plans to implement. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

If we do have any new info to share, rest assured we'll check back in here with a new status.



Thanks

**bleep** lol. Just add it

Thank you Tom for closing this idea proposal and shatterring our hopes.
I guess 7 years of begging and almost 800 voters are not enough.

Maybe one day I'll feel the joy of witnessing a great customer service that understand its community, but NOT RIGHT NOW.

Very uninpressive that you havent implementet this basic simple ( 1 hour job?) and requested function after SEVEN YEARS!!!

EDIT: after further testing on multiple boxes, updated the script...

EDIT2: added Control+A to remove queue entries

EDIT3: Link to the repository: https://github.com/WeedRapist/MediaKeys 

Solution, sort of:

Here's an AutoHotkey script, Control+Q adds the song under the mouse cursor to the queue and Control+A removes it from the queue (better than nothing, right?):

My idea was marked as a duplicate to this, so I'll put it here:

"How come Spotify still hasn't a quick way to add a song in the queue?

Clicking the song title with the right button, highlighting the "add to queue" and then clicking again looks simple but in fact becomes a lot tedious and not practical at all when creating a quick temporary playlist.

Suggestion: while holding ctrl or other specific key, clicking on the play button doesn't automatically play the music, but instead ADDS it to the queue. I bet many users would like this feature implemented. How about it?"

We're in 2020. This thread is from 2012 and any similar ideas weren't implemented yet. Let's debate this and vote more. I really want Spotify to be improved.

Thanks for reading.

+1 to this request, I co-own a Software Development Company and can tell this is not only easy to implement 

AND a MUST if you do want to take care of users asking for a feature for more than 7 years now.  I certainly can't believe they don't add it 😭.
