What is the feature or ability you would like to have?
Idea: press a keyboard shortcut, bring up a modal to search for a playlist. Find playlist to add track to. Hit enter. Track is added to that playlist.
How will this feature help you and others?
I’m having to use the mouse to add a track to a playlist and it would be a big workflow improvement to be able to do this just using the keyboard.
Is this feature available in an existing product? If so, what product?
Not that I know of. Spotify has a similar modal. The screenshot is for mobile, but the deskop app has a similar modal
Does a workaround currently exist?
Using the mouse to drag and drop. You can also add shortcuts to add to favorite playlists. But I have too many playlists for that to be viable.
Favorite playlists is the best way to go there.
Would you consider adding something like this feature? Favorite playlists isnt really the same workflow. I admittedly probably have more playlists than many people (586) and I have pretty specific playlists per-genre. Below is an example. I have about 15-20 of these large categories (“Dance/Disco House”), each with a similar number of playlists below.
I can’t favorite all of these, and even if I could, I’ll be impossible to remember the mapping from number → playlist. Search is a more generic / scalable solution and being able to have a generic “add to playlist” followed by a playlist search would be a huge workflow improvement for me and probably others with many playlists.
I also usually add one track to multiple playlists, and the spotify modal allows the addition of one song to multiple playlists.
What I can do is add a new option to the find popup
It would allow you to add selected tracks to any playlist by search, I think that’s the best streamlined solution
Looks great! Looking forward to it. Happy to beta test
Keep an eye on #beta-changelog on Discord, next update will be later this week

Hello! Did this ever make it in?
Yep it’s in the beta, coming to normal Lexicon this week
Hello, I think this functionality is set to play the track (same as the play button)
If you have a track selected, you’ll see this button appear in the search results:
