# SoundCloud Hotkeys
A simple Chrome extension that lets you control SoundCloud web player with global hotkeys — while gaming, working, or browsing. No need to be in the browser.
---
## Features
- Play / Pause the current track
- Next track
- Previous track
- Like / Unlike the currently playing track
- Works with SoundCloud web player
- Hotkeys can be customized at `chrome://extensions/shortcuts`
---
## Default Hotkeys
| Action | Default Hotkey (Windows) |
|----------------|--------------------------|
| Play / Pause | Alt + P |
| Next Track | Alt + N |
| Previous Track | Alt + B |
| Like / Unlike | Alt + L |
> **Note:** You must set hotkeys to **Global** at `chrome://extensions/shortcuts` for them to work when Chrome is not focused. You can also change the hotkeys to any other options at `chrome://extensions/shortcuts` **(works for Google Chrome)**.
---
## Installation
1. Go to "Releases" and install the latest version
2. Open Chrome → go to `chrome://extensions/`
3. Enable **Developer Mode**

5. Go to `chrome://extensions/shortcuts`, find the extension "SoundCloud Hotkeys" and set the hotkeys to **Global**
---
## Usage
1. Open [SoundCloud](https://soundcloud.com) in Chrome
2. Play a track
3. Use the hotkeys to control playback or like/unlike the track
---
## Compatibility
- Windows 10/11
- MacOS (hotkeys may use Command/Option instead of Ctrl/Alt)
- Chrome browser (or any other Chromium-based browser)
---
## Tech notes
- The extension uses DOM-based buttons to control playback and likes.
- SoundCloud updates may occasionally break selectors; you can inspect the page and adjust `content.js` if needed.
- The extension doesn’t use SoundCloud API, so no login or token is required.
