Scripting

Gomu uses anko as its scripting language. You can read more about scripting at our wiki

Keybinds.def_g("ctrl_x", func() {
    out, err = shell(`echo "hello world"`)
    if err != nil {
        debug_popup("an error occured")
    }
    info_popup(out)
})

Project Background

I just wanted to implement my own music player with a programming language i'm currently learning (Go). Gomu might not be stable as it in constant development. For now, it can fulfill basic music player functions such as:

• add and delete songs from queue
• create playlists
• skip
• play
• pause
• forward and rewind

Seeking and more advanced stuff has not yet been implemented; feel free to contribute :)
