Summary

Features

  • Open SoundCloud in a new tab if not open yet
  • Easily toggle playback or skip songs from the popup or via keyboard shortcut
  • Like and unlike the song you are currently listening to from the popup
Keyboard Shortcuts

Toggle SoundCloud playback: Shift + Ctrl + 5 Rewind song playing on SoundCloud: Shift + Ctrl + 6 Skip to next song on SoundCloud: Shift + Ctrl + 7

Due to the varying default shortcuts on different operating systems and user preference shortcuts can be changed in the addon preferences.

Keyboard shortcuts should consist of two or three keys:

  • modifier This can be any of: "Ctrl", "Alt", "Command", "MacCtrl".
  • secondary modifier (optional) For now only the Shift key is supported
  • key (mandatory) This can be any one of:
    • the letters A-Z
    • the numbers 0-9
    • the function keys F1-F12
    • Comma, Period, Home, End, PageUp, PageDown, Space, Insert, Delete, Up, Down, Left, Right
Note: If a key combination is already used by the browser, or by an existing add-on, then you can't override it. You will be allowed to define it, but your event handler will not be called when the user enters it. On Mac the Command or ⌘ key might fail to register in that case recording can be canceled by pressing esc.
