I often listen to music while I write code, and I don't have (or want) those fancy media keys that some people have on their keyboards. Still wanted to be able to control my music player from my editor, so I wrote this.

1. Place plugin/cmus-remote.vim in your ~/.vim/plugin/ directory.
2. Bind the functions you think you'll need in your .vimrc.
3. Smile.

• cmus:pause()
  • Pauses/resumes song.
• cmus:stop()
  • Commands cmus to stop playing music.
• cmus:play()
  • Command cmus to start playing music.
• cmus:next()
  • Jump to next track in playlist.
• cmus:previous()
  • Jump to previous track in playlist.
• cmus:current()
  • Echo artist, album and track title.

I have personally bound cmus:next, cmus:previous and cmus:pause in my .vimrc.

" A few common cmus commands
nnoremap <leader>n :call cmus:next()<cr>
nnoremap <leader>p :call cmus:previous()<cr>
nnoremap <leader><Space> :call cmus:pause()<cr>
