Spotify Web Player Hotkeys Firefox Extension

This extension adds global keyboard shortcuts to Firefox to control Spotify Web Player — play, pause, skip, volume, shuffle, repeat, and more.

Usage

Default Keyboard shortcuts are:

- Play/Pause  : Alt + Shift + W
- Next        : Alt + Shift + Right Arrow
- Previous    : Alt + Shift + Left Arrow
- Shuffle     : Alt + Shift + D
- Repeat      : Alt + Shift + R
- Play-Album  : Alt + Shift + G
- Save Track  : Alt + Shift + L
- Mute/Unmute : Alt + Shift + M
- Volume Up   : Alt + Shift + Up Arrow
- Volume Down : Alt + Shift + Down Arrow
- Skip Forward: Alt + Shift + Period
- Skip Back   : Alt + Shift + Comma

The Play Album shortcut can also play/pause songs like the Play/Pause shortcut but is useful when Spotify Web Player gets stuck with an ad.

Instead of using the keyboard, it's possible to click on the toolbar icon which will show the keybindings.
