What is it ?

It's cool to play typewriter sound in Vim when you are typing a letter. 😎

⚡ You can use it along with the typewriter color scheme, and feel like you are really working on a typewriter.

Enjoy the rhythm of your code, gain the power from the sound, become productive in vim. 🍷

Requirements

• Python or Python3 integration in vim
• PySDL2 with SDL2 binaries.

PySDL2 is used to provide low-latency audio playback.

Ubuntu

Just install python-sdl2 or python3-sdl2 with apt-get, depend on your python version in vim:

apt-get install python-sdl2

or

apt-get install python3-sdl2

openSUSE

Install python-sdl2 or python3-sdl2 and libSDL2_mixer-2_0-0 with zypper, depend on your python version in vim:

zypper install python-sdl2 libSDL2_mixer-2_0-0

or

zypper install python3-sdl2 libSDL2_mixer-2_0-0

Windows

Install pysdl2 in python or python3:

pip install pysdl2

or

pip3 install pysdl2

Download SDL2.dll from here, SDL2_mixer.dll from here. Put the two files into your python's installation directory.

You can verify your SDL2 installation by python -c "import sdl2". If there is no exceptions, your installation is fine.

Mac OS X

Install pysdl2 in python or python3:

pip install pysdl2

or

pip3 install pysdl2

Install sdl2 with brew:

brew install sdl2

In alternative, it is possible to install the pysdl2-dll, a package that bundles the binary for sdl2 for Windows and macOS.

pip3 install pysdl2-dll
