Skip Songs Without Leaving Your Work While running customer success calls
Change tracks with a keystroke, not a window switch.
💡 Overview
A bad song at the wrong time is a small tax on concentration. Music must be silent when a call begins.
Next and previous track are bound to Shift+Alt+Right and Shift+Alt+Left by default. The extension passes the command to the Web Player in the background, so the song changes while your work window keeps focus. There is no flash of another tab and no lost cursor position.
🧭 A Day of Customer Success Managers
Calls, notes and health dashboards sit side by side.
The problem: Music must be silent when a call begins.
The fix: Add pause-only to your pre-call checklist.
🚀 Try It in Three Steps
- Press Shift+Alt+Right the moment a track stops helping.
- Press Shift+Alt+Left to jump back to the previous track.
- Use the popup if you want to see the track and artwork before choosing.
✨ What You Get
- Zero-polling design: A MutationObserver updates the UI only when the page changes, keeping CPU and memory use low.
- Mouse-wheel volume: Scroll over the player for fine volume steps, plus one-tap mute memory.
- Four default hotkeys: Shift+Alt+Up toggles play and pause, Right skips, Left goes back and Down pauses only.
