You could also have a base music folder and just symlink all of your music to this same folder.You'll have to update the symlinks and the DB, each time you add new music, though. |

Thanks a lot, that worked perfectly!

Yeah, I know, this is just a nice option to have

It's great! The only problem I see is that when I hit the space bar while highlighting a directory in the browse mode for the music database, all the tracks inside that directory are added to the end of the playlist. But if I do the same while browsing a local directory, it doesn't work.

What ncmpcpp version are you using? Afair 0.3.3 and bigger (git) should give you a warning that adding whole directory from local browser is not supported (probably yet).

0.2.5 (the current stable version).
Edit: I unmasked media-sound/ncmpcpp-0.3.3, and it's working now.
Edit 2: there are a few other issues I'm having:
- Hidden directories are showing up when browsing the local filesystem
- I can't use ^U to clear the search field
Edit 3: I would greatly appreciate it if you could add support for using ^A to jump to the top of the directory/file listing while in browse mode.

Any chance of getting these features?

Ah, I didn't see you've edited your post.

Implemented in git. I hope that's what you wanted.

Bind keycode 1 to key_home.
I'll add not displaying hidden files and directories as an option.

I'll add the mpd overlay and give it a shot.
Edit: it's working, but I got another idea: is there an option to have the search field cleared each time one hits "/", rather than preserving it between searches?

I don't understand. Do you mean use xmodmap? Because I've got ncmpcpp running in Screen on a headless server, so it doesn't even have X installed.

no. it was working like that before, but since found positions are discarded each time screen changes, this is an easy way to search again with the same pattern.

in ~/.ncmpcpp.keys. example keybindings file contains line

Yeah, I don't really like this behaviour either.If it's not too difficult, it would be nice to have this as an option, thanks.
EDIT: Maybe have backspace/delete clear the entire field instantly? This would work keep the new method, but would mean we wouldn't have to hit backspace a heap of times to create a new search.
EDIT2: Does this do what I'm asking?

Yeah, the reason I chose ^U is that it's the standard Unix command for deleting a line of text.

Perhaps you could have an option to preserve the found position when the screen changes?
Or maybe an option for toggling preserving the search field content if one hits "/" again after a screen change, as well as an option for toggling preserving the search field if one hits "/" again without changing the screen?

Pattern is bound to screen and search results are remembered if you switch to another screen, but they are discarded as soon as content of this screen changes. Researching each time the content changes is overkill to me, so ncmpcpp doesn't do this, but it allows to perform searching again easily just by hitting //? and enter, without re-enter pattern. (I know, search history would do the trick. We'll see).

Something else I thought of: when new options are added to the config file (such as for disabling the display of hidden directories/files), if you have a preexisiting config file, that option won't be added to it/the user won't be made aware of it. Is there some way to work around this? What do other applications do?

Actually I don't know, you could just diff your config with sample config or read couple of last commits to see if something new was added.
Btw, I implemented input text history in git, testers are more than welcome

I think I've found a small issue. When I search for an artist, then press Enter to access the list of albums by the artist, then use "[..]" to go back to the artist listing, then hit "/" to search again, then start typing in some text & backspacing it, "Find forward: " and the entered text will disappear.
I believe this problem was present prior to the text history update, though.

Yup, it's fixed, thanks a lot!
I've got another feature request: when you've searched in the Browse panel, after a result has been found, could you add the option to find the next instance of that result in the library. You could use "n" to find the next instance and "N" to find the previous instance, and if you were searching backwards (by using "?" instead of "/"), then "n" would find the previous instance and "N" would find the next instance, just like in Vim.

No more new features for a while, I want to release 0.3.4 soon.
Also, I don't think I get the idea. Could you explain further?

Well, say I want to listen to a song by The Killers. If I search for "kill" in the Browse menu, then I end up at Killswitch Engage. I have to then type "/", "↑", and Enter to search for "kill" again (or "/", "kill", and Enter). What I'm suggesting is that you can instead just type "n" to find the next instance of "kill". Similarly, "N" will find the previous instance, and their roles will reverse when you use "?" instead of "/". Try it out in Vim, the keypresses are the exact same.

Oh, didn't know about that. They work for me, but:
I went to ~/.ncmpcpp/keys and added | Code: | | key_next_found_position = 'n' |
and | Code: | | key_prev_found_position = 'N' |
but only the latter is functional. Any ideas?

'n' is bound by default to moving item down.
