The only command I ever need is the initial one to add my music directory : # add files, short for ':add ~/music' :a ~/music After that, all you need is 3 keys : space to expand an artist and view the albums, enter to play what you want, tab to switch between album view and track view if you want a particular track. By the way, in the main/default mode, you don't see directory, you see artist/albums from tags. There are 7 views in cmus. Press keys 1-7 to change active view. Library view (1) And these 5 shortcuts can be useful too : x player-play c player-pause v player-stop C toggle continue s toggle shuffle You cannot pretend you want keyboard controls, and not open the man page to learn the few keys you need :)
