Title: Hotkey for going to last.fm artist page and easier arrow navigation
Post by: Mike89 on September 20, 2021, 12:49:33 PM: Would be nice if you have album selected bu not playing make a hotkey for it o open in last.fm. Path is pretty long in a traditional way and people use that a lot.

Arrow navigation: Now you cant navigate your library left and right if your arrows are already assigned o rewind and ff. Other players let you navigate and arrows change to rewind/ff when youre at the end of the grid.

You might be able to create a custom web link for this.
Preferences > Internet > custom web link
You'd need to figure out the exact syntax, but it should be doable.

Now go to Prefs/Hotkeys, and scroll down to the "Web: Open link (#)" with the number that corresponds to the order of your new custom web link in the last section. Assign a hotkey to it.

Now when a track is hilighted in MusicBee, hit the Last.FM hotkey you made, and your browser will open to the track's artist page in Last.fm.

Tested and working fine with Firefox 92.
