 +===== EMPC =====
 +
 +EMPC is a client for MPD written using EFL. Its focus is speed-of-use and minimalism. It does not support other media playing backends.
 +
 +For most delicious taste, set MPD_HOST environment variable to the path of mpd's local socket. Also ensure your user has access to this socket.
 +
 +==== Installation ====
 +
 +    sudo apt-get install empc
 +
 +{{:empc-default.png?200|}}
 +
 +==== Usage ====
 +
 +Controls:
 +
 +The UI of EMPC is based on mouse movements and event areas. Moving the mouse to an area of the application window will trigger a change in the view state. Unless the current view has been mouse-hold toggled or keyboard toggled using a global hotkey, it will automatically hide after HIDE_TIMEOUT seconds.
 +
 +Hints for available navigation appear when the view changes:
 +   blue indicates a new view is available in a direction
 +   red indicates the previous view is available in a direction
 +
 +Mouse bindings for the player view and event area sizes can be changed using the defines at the top of empc.edc.
 +
 +Global hotkeys:
 +   F1 -> Toggle playlist view
 +   F2 -> Toggle filesystem view
 +   Ctrl+Q -> Quit
 +
 +Player view:
 +   Right -> playlist view
 +   Right for LOCK_TIMEOUT seconds -> toggle playlist view on
 +   Bottom -> controls panel
 +   Left click -> play/pause toggle
 +   Double left click -> background selector view
 +   Right click -> fetch+show lyrics
 +   Wheel down -> next track
 +   Ctrl+Wheel down -> next album
 +   Wheel up -> previous track
 +   Ctrl+Wheel up -> previous album
 +   Ctrl+v -> paste image url/data to use as background
 +   Delete -> delete currently playing song from queue
 +   Ctrl+Delete -> delete currently playing album from queue
 +   Enter/Return -> activate (play) first selected item in playlist
 +
 +Playlist view:
 +   Left -> player view
 +   Left for LOCK_TIMEOUT seconds -> toggle playlist view off
 +   Up -> filesystem view
 +   Bottom -> controls panel
 +   Ctrl+Wheel up -> scroll up to previous album header

 +   Ctrl+Enter -> playlist menu
 +
 +Filesystem view:
 +   Bottom -> playlist view
 +
 +Typing on the keyboard in this view will actively search available filesystem entities.
 +   Double click/Return/Enter -> select current entity
 +   Arrows -> change selection
 +   Right click -> filesystem menu
 +   Ctrl+a -> select all
 +   Ctrl+c -> copy current selection of songs/directories
