Description

This is a simple quality of life request. Currently, if I wanted to add the currently playing song to a playlist, I would have to use the search feature to pull it up in the main window, and then use p to add it to playlist. This feels rather clunky, and a simple fix would be adding a keybind to find the currently playing song in the queue and show it in the track view. Another simple solution would be, when the queue is focused, to apply the command palette commands to the currently selected song in the queue, instead of the track view (it makes more sense from a ux perspective to have the command palette operate on the currently selected window instead of one that you presumably wouldn't be looking at)

Love the project, fits so perfectly with otter launcher

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify the keybinding module (likely in `src/` or `config/`) and add a new bind to focus or reveal the currently playing track in the track view. Consider using existing functions for queue handling and track lookup. Also explore applying command palette operations to the active window (queue or track list) for improved UX.
