Description

I know this is somewhat petty, but I would love to have Vim-esque keybindings

  • H previous
  • L next
  • space play/pause (lock)
  • S shuffle
  • F11 maximize
  • I (instead of Ctrl + B)

Ctrl + R, M would be great without Ctrl


Ctrl+S and Ctrl+E make sense to me as is.


I wouldn't push something like this hard, but it just seems like that would make it a lot more natural for those of geeks that use with lot of other stuff. Right now I'm running i3 (vim), tmux (vim), vim (vim), ranger (vim), and vlc (vim).
