I made a Userscript to add hotkeys to the Steam website, primarily for Discovery Queue navigation. It makes going through the queue a lot faster. Works with or without Enhanced Steam. If you try it out, please let me know what you think.


Installation

👉 https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/31394-steam-hotkeys

Never installed a Userscript before? Read this https://greasyfork.org/en/help/installing-user-scripts


Usage

  • Open Queue in Tabs button - opens your entire Discovery Queue in 12 new tabs
  • [W] to add the game to your wishlist
  • [S] to mark it as Not Interested
  • [D] to go to next Queue item
  • [E] to read reviews, and press it again to return to the top
  • [C] to open your character sheet
  • [I] to open your inventory
  • [H] to go home
  • [X] to open the Discovery Queue
  • [U] to view friend activity
  • [L] to open chat
  • Auto advance will also make it go to the next queue item after you press W or S
  • You can change options in the Customize your queue dialog box

Pushed an update which now works better with Ctrl+C and doesn't catch the control key.

I pushed an update which adds an Open Queue in Tabs button to the Explore page. I recommend using it from a new browser window because it will open 12 new tabs.

My process is click the Open Queue in Tabs button, then I press W or S to mark the game, then I close the tab with Ctrl+W which takes me to the next one. I find this much faster than going through the queue normally because the page loads between items really slows you down.

Please let me know what you think.

New update adds mouse support to Open Queue in Tabs mode. After opening your queue in tabs, clicking Wishlist or Not Interested will now log the game as being viewed in your Discovery Queue without needing to click on Next. You can use either the keyboard hotkeys or the mouse to go through the queue.

Added a new option to jump to the top of the page whenever you press W or S. I often decide which way to mark something after reading the reviews, and I then like to scroll to the top to make sure it was marked properly before closing the tab, so this speeds that up.

Pushed an update to help with failed queue generation. Most of my queues fail to generate and the site times out. If the queue fails, it will refresh the page and then load the queue from the embedded script. It's faster for me than just waiting for the queue to load properly.

Steam is again giving cards for going through your Discovery Queue. This is a perfect time to try out this script! It's not automatic, but it's fast if you actually want to go through your queue.

Press [D] on your keyboard and it will take you to the first game in the queue from the explore page.

But I highly recommend the open in tabs feature! It makes it a lot faster.

This is not pick first game from already creaded list, pressing [D] on this page starts create new queue. But on new creation, if titles not enough for full list, i all time receiving error "Failed to load queue ". For fix this issue need wait 2-3 minutes then Steam start properly load page. So this option not for me.

If I have an existing queue and visit the explore page and press [D], it takes me to the first item in that existing queue.

I'm afraid without having the issue myself, this one is hard to troubleshoot because Steam gets weird when you've seen most of the discovery queue.

Yeah and Steam support answer about it, something like: "We know about and working on it, just be patient and wait some."

Hi, when I try to run your script I get an error saying

Script error in [Greasemonkey script http://tampermonkey.net//Steam Hotkeys; version 0.2.9.2]:
ReferenceError: GM_getValue is not defined

Any way to fix this?

Edit: Turns out it doesn't work with Greasemonkey but works with Tamper. Unfortunately it has problems ignoring games for me /:
