Re: Control iTunes from Vim with ViTunes (a vim plugin packaged as a Ruby gem)

Hi Troels

Thanks for testing.

Thanks for pointing out the $PATH issue. I'll try to note that in the
README. The message you got that vitunes-install and vitunes-help were
missing vitunes-help is related to that.

I'll truncate that current track info too, and see what's going on with
> and <

Sorry about favoring , over \ as the local map leader. I try to make
this easier to configure.

Thanks again,

Dan

Thanks a lot for that.

I just played with it for like 5 minutes (with only 4 tracks in
iTunes) so these are probably just beginner's mistakes:

1) I installed it on a brand new Mac, with no added directories to
$path, which ment that it couldn't find vitunes-install. Perhaps you
should add a note to the installation process.

2) When pressing '?' vim responds /bin/bash: vitunes-help: command not
found, probably also due to a clean $path.

3) I couldn't get > and < to work (vim calls <SNR>9_nextTrack() but
nothing happens).

4) When pressing '.' the displayed message is very long. How about
truncating it or showing it another place than in the commandline. (I
get the 'press ENTER or type command to continue' all the time).

5) Not a complaint but a question: The leader on my system is \ which
I prefer. How can I easily change vitunes such that it responds to \a
etc. instead of ,a? (I've been a user of vmail for some time, and have
wondered the same thing there).

Anyway, these are just my very first experiences. Thanks for putting
these plugins together.
