In the suggestion list you can jump back and forth between categories by pressing tab and shift+tab.

To play a suggestion immediately (not navigating to it), hold ctrl (windows/linux) or cmd (macOs) when selecting the suggestion.

It's also possible to navigate using a Spotify URI. Simply paste it in the power-bar and press enter to navigate to the URI destination.

Settings

Settings for the power bar can be found on spotify's settings page. There are settings for the following things:

• Activation key combo. Defaults are alt+space on MacOs, and ctrl+space on other operating systems. Can be changed to anything in to following format: modifier+key. A modifier key is one of the following:
  • Shift
  • Control
  • Alt
  • Cmd/Windows
• Amount of suggestions per category. How many suggestions to show per per category. Default is 3. Technically this can be set to 50, but in the power bar it's limited to 10 per category due to it being a better user experience.
• Add to queue. Add the selected suggestion to the queue instead of playing it. When enabled hold ctrl (windows/linux) or cmd (macOs) when selecting the suggestion to add it to the playback queue.
