| cmus and vim updates | |
| November 12th, 2017 | |
| ---------------------------------------- | |
| I have been avoiding using cmus for years because of the stupidest | |
| reason. I didn't know how to sort the sorted library view into | |
| album view. My collection is 100% full albums, and that's how | |
| I prefer to listen to music, so this was really annoying. I could | |
| use the main library view and expand individual artists to get to | |
| their albums, but it didn't feel right. After looking all around | |
| the web and finding nada, I stumbled on screen 7 (settings) and | |
| found the key myself... (A)! | |
| Now cmus is a dream and I'm in album-y bliss. We do the stupidest | |
| things, don't we? That reminds me that I should really get back | |
| around to using mutt instead of Alpine. | |
| Over in vim world, I did a major restructure of my dotfiles by | |
| recombining all the various parts into a single .vimrc file. I had | |
| broken out things like bundles and mappings and autocommands into | |
| separate files to keep things organized. Now that I really grok | |
| what's going on in my config it felt bloated. I stripped out a ton | |
| of code and plugins and replaced things with simpler settings. No | |
| more Airline or Eleline, just plain old statusline. I annotated | |
| all my bundles as well so I know at a glance what each is there | |
| for. That was a problem in the past (not a good sign). | |
| I dropped the solarized theme from my shell as well and got some | |
| sane colors. Things are crisp and clear again. | |
| Finally, I grabbed dbucklin's timestamp mapping from his recent | |
| phlog entry [0]. It's super cool and I can't wait to use it. | |
