It’s very nice you are using the classic Vim editor shortcuts j and k to play the previous and next track, respectively. However, as an experienced Vim user, relying completely on muscle memory, I hit Cmd-J and the cursor went . . . . . . . . ahum UP
The character j points down, so in Vim the cursor goes DOWN. The character k points up so in Vim the cursor goes UP. This has been the classic use of j and k in computer science for almost half a century now.
While I’m on the subject of shortcuts:
- why do we need the Cmd prefix in a screen where nothing can be edited. Isn’t just j and k sufficient?
- many mail programs use n (next) and p (previous) to go through a list of messages without opening the message.
My suggestion:
-
j : move to the next track and play
-
n: move to the next track, but don’t play. This is handy for quickly going down a list
-
d: move down a screen of tracks, but don’t play
-
k: move to previous track and play
-
p: move to previous track, but don’t play
-
u: move up a screen of tracks, but don’t play
-
Enter: play the track the cursor is on
-
ga: go to album
-
gp: add to plalist
-
gt: tag
-
gs; share
-
ge: export
-
gf: file info
-
gl: lyrics
etc.
This would be in the great Vim tradition
