This will bring up tracks that are similar to all selected tracks in the suggestions list. Repeated boosting works similarly as for single tracks.

To mark places in music space & jump back to marked places:

Select a track that (for you) represents a certain part of your collection from the "history", "play queue" or "suggestions" pane this could correspond to a certain genre, mood or the situation in which you like to listen to this kind of music. Add it to your "bookmarks" list by opening the "Bookmarks" window using the button at the top of the "suggestions" pane and dragging it there. To jump to the place in music space corresponding to one of your bookmarks, open the "Bookmarks" window, select a key track and press the "boost" button at the bottom of the "Bookmarks" window. This will filled the "suggestions pane" with music similar to that bookmark. This only affects the contents of the "suggestions pane", not the currently playing track or play queue, so it's entirely safe to do this during playback.

Line up tracks for playback:

Select one or more tracks from the "history", "play queue" or "suggestions" pane and drag them to the "play queue" pane. You can reorder the queue using drag and drop within the "play queue" pane and delete tracks from the queue by selecting them and pressing the "delete" key.

Have Flookey automatically select the next track(s) for playback:

Flookey will select a track for playback whenever the play queue becomes empty; this selection is based on the current content of the suggestions list and also uses some randomness, in order to achieve a more varied selection. (See also Playing your Music)
