I'll have a look at the default mb controls and fix this for the next release, although my plugin has ctrl+enter to play and shift+enter to queue, not ctrl+enter as you say.

Whoops, I posted from memory after I changed it 😅

"go back before opening filter" means call the "General: Navigate Back" command after going to the configured tab and before opening the filter. I added this because I have a dedicated albums tab where I have it open my albums (as in the demo gif), and this option prevents the navigation stack from getting filled up with all the albums I search for, so that I can just press "navigate back" only once when in that tab to view all my albums again.

Thanks for the elaboration!

Regarding focus main panel I unfortunately don't know how to make it work for every setup. Musicbee actually added a way to focus it by pressing the "goto text search box" hotkey again when the search box is focused, but it is bugged: https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=41683. So I did it my own way, but which seems to be broken as well.

Ofc, the quantity of configuration permutations for this wonderful program is absolutely absurd. Totally understandable that some things don't jive all the time lol

Cheers mate 😆

Thanks for the plug-in! Is it possible to change from artist search to album artist?

Hah, I just came here to ask for the very same thing @enrivac!
Still really loving this plugin, so nice to use.
Would adding album artwork (and enlarging the thumbnail) be possible, as well?

Why change from artist to album artist? If it is because some album artists don't have any songs themselves, I can add them to the list of artists as well.

For me, a filter (Capital A instead of a?) would work. And/Or a plugin setting for our preference. I'd almost always prefer album artist, but both Artist and Album artist being in the dropdown would be great!
Oh, and the issue is that searching for Artist shows incomplete albums when the song artist is, for instance: 'artist a ft. artist b'.

1.6 adds command palette (prefix: >) which can be used to search built-in or plugin commands. Check the notes in the updated readme for more info.
