editor are not played immediately. The user had to go to the playlist,
select the song and then press play.

immediately.

experimented doing that, that is how it works on the Search View, but I
found it really annoying when you go to pause the music only to find you
accidentally added tracks to the playlist instead because the tree has
the focus. It's something you could get used to but IMHO some important
keys shouldn't have overloaded actions like this it just become too
annoying.

I agree that some keys should not be overloaded
to confuse user due to the different behaviours of different widgets in
different states. But some users would like to see that feature so thats
why I have added the patch. They can decide if they want to apply it and
go with this behaviour. Its pretty much the same with the directory
mode. Maybe this could be made optional. Yeah more settings. :-)
