Search spotify in Vim and play songs.

Vim Spotify Search

A plugin to allow you to search and play tracks from spotify right inside Vim.

Make sure you have spotify running externally, then in Vim:

:Spotify yeezus

Yields a new window with the search results

Just hit enter to have the song played by spotify.

Region Configuration

To filter the results appropriate to your region add the line below to your .vimrc with the correct country code.

let g:spotify_country_code = 'GB'

PlayPause, Next, Prev Keys

For linux operating systems with dbus, you can map specific keys to play/pause, next and previous.

let g:spotify_prev_key = "<F9>"
let g:spotify_playpause_key = "<F10>"
let g:spotify_next_key = "<F11>"

These mappings will only work inside the spotify list buffer.
