You can assign a hot key for the cart wall as follows: Right-click the cart wall tab, select “Hot key modifier” in the context menu, and set a desired option.

For example, if you want to listen to a track under the digit 2, press Ctrl, and then press the “2” key. If the track is under the letter M, press Ctrl, and then press the “M” key. When Caps Lock is set as a hot key modifier, simply press CapsLock+A (or any other key) to play the corresponding cart wall item.
To stop the playback, press the same keys again.
You can create a few carts on the cart wall. Pressing Ctrl+2 will create two carts, and pressing Ctrl+3 will create three ones.
