    Tried it. Works as advertised :) Amazing.

    I am on Doom Emacs, the keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work. Clicking works. I suspect Whichkey (Space) and Evil mode (n/p..etc.,) to be the culprits. I should probably assign some sort of whichkey combo for the actions.

    Seriously cool. Thank you.

    P.S: The fact that I can ditch a 1+GB browser tab for 68MB mpv playing in the background is just :chef_kiss:

      Glad to hear it worked as advertised! Sorry, not super familiar with evil (on vanilla keys here). Please send a PR if you find out how to configure for evil so we can document in README.

    Extra impressive considering he has a newborn at home.

    As an emacs user and fan, I sometimes feel that emacs is pushed into directions it is not meant to handle but the fact that it can be pushed to do so is its power. It's image handling has taught me that, but it also taught me that I prefer to use "the right tool for the job".

    Why is it a floating window and not a frame? Great work, btw

      Thanks! It’s an undecorated frame. I wanted a “widget” experience of sorts.

    Nice work. It seems that Google has cracked down on yt-dlp lately though.
