About Spotify and its shortcuts

Spotify's desktop application keeps a short keyboard list focused on playback and navigation: play and pause, moving between tracks, volume, search and moving back and forward through where you have been.

The desktop application, the web player and the system media keys behave differently, and some combinations are handled by your operating system before Spotify sees them. Spotify also changes its interface often.
