I tried it today and I didn't like it. The key configuration is very unintuitive.
Also... Isn't that visualization engine vibe coded?
What is unintuitive? Enter to enqueue music, Space for pause, Left and Right arrow to change the track. Backspace to clear the list. Escape or q to quit.
The thing that might throw you off might be alt+enter for enqueue + play. It's pretty easy to get used to though.
I'm not the developer of Chroma, you'd have to ask them. I think it looks cool though. You don't need it to run kew.
First of all, I apologize. Now that I re-read my comment it sounds a bit rude. Sorry about that.
I was accustomed to the moc player configuration, you move like you're going through directories.
Best of luck with your project.
