Hi Chris / @pseudo_meta ,
There is a Santa Claus. I ran into your issues with wanting to be able to like a Spotify song but keep working. Inside Spotify, the keyboard shortcut to like a song is shift-option-B. For my universal shortcut, I chose shift-control-L. Here's the macro which switches quickly to Spotify, likes the song and returns you to the original application. There are small pauses to make sure nothing goes wrong.
The only big issue is that the switch is a toggle. To be sure you don't like the song already and are not unliking it, you need to be able to see the like status, which means having the playing Spotify song with its like button visible somewhere on your desktops. It would be great if Spotify had two buttons:
- a like button
- a dislike button
In that case, liking a song multiple times couldn't make disable like.
Like song Spotify Macro (v10.0.2)
Like song Spotify.kmmacros (2.9 KB)
What I haven't built is a tool to dislike songs (useful in Discover and Release Radar playlists.
I hope this helps.
