Skip Songs Without Leaving Your Work While handling support tickets
Change tracks with a keystroke, not a window switch.
💡 Overview
A bad song at the wrong time is a small tax on concentration. Changing music between tickets shouldn't cost you queue time.
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.

Ticket queues, knowledge bases and chat windows leave no room for a music app in the foreground.
The problem: Changing music between tickets shouldn't cost you queue time.
The fix: Use next-track and like shortcuts in the gaps between tickets so music never needs your mouse.

- Press Shift+Alt+Right the moment a track stops helping.
