[PATCH] add live filter command (:live-filter)

[Johannes Weißl]

Hello!

finally a first (theoretically) mergeable version of :live-filter!
I pushed the patch to gitorious because it is quite huge and I couldn't
split it easily. Also it is easier to comment on the changes there:
http://gitorious.org/cmus/cmus/merge_requests/4

To try out:
git clone -b live-filter git://gitorious.org/~jmuc/cmus/jw-cmus-filter.git

Works wonderfully for me, and code is great, too.

Everybody — please check it out, It is super-convenient and useful!

I've merged it into -pu branch.

This is awesome!

I use view 2.

I just dug through the mailing list archives to look up usage.
Here's what I found:

Type: ":li " then start typing, and watch as your view is filtered
to show only tracks that match your typing.

Is there a way to map a key (like l) to type ":li " for you and
then let you type the rest? If not, that would be awesome (feature
request.) I'd love that mutt habit to work in cmus.


Thank you Johannes!


Take care, - Jason

Great that you like it, it's been in preparation for quite some
time now :-)!

The key 'L' is bound by default, but only for a fresh install of cmus.
For an existing installation use:
:bind -f common L push live-filter
(important: space at the end!).

I thought about adding the key binding by default if not set, but there
is no easy way in cmus (you don't want to re-add it all the time when
the user has decided to remove the 'L' binding). We just need to
advertise it when 2.4.0 is released...
