Except ncmpcpp does not use XDG_CONFIG_HOME

Anyway, everything one needs to know is in the man page and example config files. RTFM is the best advice for OP.

From the manual (which I did read prior to asking):

"When ncmpcpp starts, it tries to read user's keybindings from ~/.ncmpcpp/keys file. If no user's keybindings is found, ncmpcpp uses its default keybindings. An example keybindings file containing all default values is provided with ncmpcpp and can be found usually in /usr/share/doc/ncmpcpp (exact location may depend on used distribution/OS/configure prefix)." This hasn't changed from earlier versions, or at least I do have a ~/.nmcpcpp/keys file, which was, and isn't, correctly read. Manolo

True, I've put all my config files in XDG_CONFIG_HOME and I forgot that ncmpcpp doesn't use it. I have indeed RTFMs but I didn't catch the fact that some command line arguments were removed. Thank you for your constructive reply. ___________________________ tlux

Thanks a lot for the info!

- the play, stop, pause, toggle, etc... command line arguments has been removed on purpose. See [1]. The workaround I am using now is to install mpc [2] and use it in all my scripts that was using the related ncmpcpp's command line argument

I was hoping this was some kind of oversight... Well, too bad. I guess I'll have to start using another client, as you say. Cheers, Manolo
