Preflight Checklist

I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

I often like to fine-tune my listening queue by adding some songs into it manually. However, it's not very convenient since each time I add a song I need to click through the context menu.

Proposed Solution

It would be great if we could modify the action of clicking on song's play button by pressing modifier keys. For example:

Left click = Start playing immediately (works now)
Shift + Left click = Play next
Alt + Left click = Add to queue
Ctrl + Left click = Save to library

Alternatives Considered

Obviously the same task can be completed by going through the context menu, though it's more frustrating and less efficient if it's done many times.
