Spotify keyboard shortcuts for Mac

The 25 Spotify shortcuts people reach for most, grouped by task. Keys are shown as macOS prints them: ⌘ Command, ⌥ Option, ⇧ Shift, ⌃ Control.

Spotify’s own list has no keys for the next or previous track; Remolo’s media buttons cover those.

The same keys on your iPhone

Remolo turns your iPhone into a panel of buttons for your Mac. This set switches on by itself when Spotify is in front, so the keys you use most are one tap away — no reaching across the desk.

With the next Remolo update you’ll add this set with one tap from this page. Until then, build it in Buttons → Edit, or start from the ready-made profiles in Remolo’s gallery. Button profiles are part of Remolo Pro.
