PROBLEM:
The shorts doesn't have a icon nor an option in their context menu to add them to the current queue or any user saved playlist or watch later list!

SOLUTION:
An icon on the thumbnail of the short & an option in their context menu to add the shorts to the queue list, playlist, & watch later list just like in the below screenshot!

ALTERNATIVES:
Currently to add the shorts to any playlist or queue list or watch later list one needs to copy their video ID & then paste that id into the youtube video url & then one can save it in any of the user saved playlist & in the queue list!

RELEVANCE / SCOPE:
I usually watch videos using the queue list instead of opening each video separately much convenient than opening each of them in their separate tabs. saves a lot of time & computer resources!

"SIDE EFFECTS":
I don't know!

CONTEXT:
None!

Hello Developer,

I recently wrote a Tampermonkey script to conveniently add the currently playing video to the "Watch Later" list on YouTube. It does not use the YouTube API; instead, it works by hiding relevant elements and simulating clicks on those elements. I also added a shortcut key feature to trigger the script.

The drawbacks of this script are:

  1. Based on my testing, it currently only works properly in Simplified Chinese and English (US). It fails in other languages, such as Traditional Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. It may require translation support.
  2. It does not support adding Shorts.
  3. Due to network latency, YouTube sometimes prompts: "The current video has been added to Watch Later" or "It has been removed from the Watch Later list." If the internet speed is normal, the script runs correctly.
    I really like your plugin and would like to help enhance its functionality. However, since I am not familiar with coding, I spent about a month generating and modifying this script with the help of ChatGPT and Claude. I hope I can contribute to your work. If you have any questions about the script or suggestions for improving the plugin, I would be more than happy to assist.

The script includes my email address, or you can also reach me through GitHub. Thank you very much for your efforts.
