How to use Vifm as your music player
Revision as of 18:05, 21 May 2021 by Viminator25 (talk | contribs)
If you have mpc then with some scripting you can use Vifm as your music player! Simply copy and paste this into your vifmrc:
NOTE As of this edit you should have the most recent version of mpc compiled from github. |
You can use older versions and still get 99% of the functionality, but certain mappings will have to be adjusted for displaying the current status.
