cmus

cmus is a terminal music player. The keybinds and actions are very vim-like.

Documentation

There is a man page with lots of information. Inside the app, you can press ``7`` and view the keybinds.

# Read cmus documentation
man cmus

It is like vim. There is the mode where you are browsing and tabbing through the music. You can use the arrow keys or vim-like ``j`` and ``k`` to move around. Press ``TAB`` to switch from the artist/album list to the track list. Press enter to start a song.

Type ``:`` to begin entering commands. There is also tab completion.

To search, type ``/`` and enter the phrase. Press ``n`` to find next occurrence.
