Feature Request

[gt]

Hello List,

I am a long time user of cmus, and it the only console audio player which
fits my needs. Though there is a feature that i wish could be added to cmus.


I feel there should be an option to make the current song be automatically
selected. The type of behaviour that is exhibited with the key 'i:
win-sel-cur'. I have to manually keep using 'i' all the time to bring into
focus the current song being played.

If it's possible and not much of a bother, could the devs please add this
feature.

Thanks, and keep up the good work.

The currently playing song is always displayed near the bottom of the
screen. That's enough for me, but here's a dirty trick to get almost
what you're asking for:

Make this cmus-win-sel-cur script:

#!/bin/sh
cmus-remote -C 'win-sel-cur' &

make it executable, and set it as your cmus status_display_program:

:set status_display_program=cmus-win-sel-cur


It's not perfect (for example, it also executes win-sel-cur when you
pause/unpause) but maybe it's good enough?

Take care, - Jason

Thanks a lot Jason, the script seems to work just fine :)

And, thanks also to Gregory, for forwarding me this mail.
