Hey guys, really love the desktop app, using it 95% of the time! Just wanted to ask for small improvement. Can you please add right click context menu for macOS drawer, so I can quickly pause/play, next/prev (just like itunes) without opening the whole app. I saw that it's electron app, and I am electron developer too! It should not take more than 15 minutes of work, but will be huge time saver for users 🙏🙏🙏

here's info how to implement it:

https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/macos-dock
code:
const { app, Menu } = require('electron')

const dockMenu = Menu.buildFromTemplate([
{
label: 'Play / Pause',
click () { // TODO: emit some event and play/pause }
}, {
label: 'Previous',
click () { // TODO: emit some event and play previous song }
},{
label: 'Next',
click () { // TODO: emit some event to play next song }
},
])

app.dock.setMenu(dockMenu)


Thanks in advance!

1 year passed, with code suggestion and it is not yet available. It's a shame they couldn't do it :(
