lucidstack / ctrlp-mpc.vim

Control MPD from vim, through mpc, with ctrlp!

ctrlp-mpc.vim

There's nothing that breaks my concentration more than having to switch windows and find that Daft Punk tune I really want to listen to right now, so...why not Zoidberg ctrlp?

Installation

Knock yourself out and install this repo in whichever way you prefer(Plugin 'lucidstack/ctrlp-mpc.vim', if you are on Vundle like me), then add 'mpc' to the ctrlp extensions (in your .vimrc):

    let g:ctrlp_extensions = ['buffertag', 'tag', 'line', 'dir', 'tmux', 'mpc'] " <- here it is

and, optionally, a leader shortcut:

  " Sheer awesomeness
  nnoremap <Leader>m :CtrlPMpc<CR>

If you need to run mpc with particular flags (like --port or --host), you can override the command ctrlp-mpc uses for mpc in your .vimrc:

  let g:ctrlp_mpc_cmd = 'mpc --port 6682'

je cache, tu caches, il cache

ctrlp-mpc.vim has a little cache in place for artists. These can be A LOT, and on my library it takes a couple of seconds to load, so I figured I'd add a cache for it.

If you happen to add artists while vim is running, you can run :CtrlPMpcClear to clear the cache!
