Extension Usage Instructions

                        Adds the following default keyboard shortcuts to open.spotify.com:

    Play/Pause media key: play, pause
    Previous media key: previous track
    Next media key: next track

There is no default shortcut, but you can also bind keys for:

    Toggle shuffle
    Toggle repeat (once, all, disabled)
    Toggle song like
    Volume up / down / mute
    Seek backward and forward in both songs and podcasts

You can customize these shortcuts and make them global hotkeys (not just while Chrome is in focus) by opening chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

Warning: Chrome/Chromium is known to not correctly register hotkeys after you've changed them in chrome://extensions/shortcuts. Please restart your browser by visiting chrome://restart after changes to shortcuts/hotkeys if you experience issues.

This extension relies on the HTML/CSS structure of the website. Spotify might break it by changing their frontend. Please report issues by clicking on the Support link.
