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. | |
