Hi, all
I asked some question yesterday about how to redefine the same key
using a macro. Subject title was:
[Macro] Redefine the same key (<right> key)
Finally I had found a way to make it work "almost" as expected:
my not working old macro needed sequence to be enclosed in single
quotes instead in double ones.
Now I've upgrade yesterday macros to control index menu better.
So I decided to share them here so that you can comment, add ideas
and so on...
Expected behaviour when arrow keys are pressed:
1. When I enter in a mailbox I'm in front of mutt index menu:
I've configured it to show one thread per line, all threads
collapsed whit %M flag in index_format, so I can distinguish
single message by multi message threads.
2. I want to close current mailbox by type "left" key and return
to browser menu with all mailboxes listed one per line.
3. When I'm selecting a multi messages thread I want to view it
expanded in a clean screen by pressing "right" key. The other
threads will be hidden.
If I'm selecting a single message thread I want that same "right"
key just display that message (so entering in pager menu).
I have not found a solution for this conditional behaviour.
To summarize:
---
if thread has just one message
display it
else
hide other threads
expand current thread
endif
---
4. When I'm in front of screen that contains just one multi message
thread expanded, I want to return to my all thread screen by
pressing "left" key.
And I want to open selected message by pressing right key.
Here a scheme:
enter in mailbox (from browser menu, I use right key to enter in
selected mailbox).
---
left key ---> quit mailbox and return to browser menu
right key ---> display message if single message thread is selected
|
--> show expanded multi messages thread alone
|
--> right key ---> open selected message
--> left key ---> return to all threads (collapsed) view
---
And here we have my macros from my muttrc:
---
set hide_top_limited=yes
macro index onethr "<tag-thread><limit>~T\n<tag-thread>"
macro index allthr "<limit>all\n<collapse-all>"
macro index st1lft '<enter-command> push allthr; \
macro index \<right\> defrgt; \
macro index \<left\> deflft<enter>'
macro index defrgt '<enter-command> push onethr; \
macro index \<right\> <display-message>; \
macro index \<left\> st1lft<enter>'
macro index deflft '<change-folder>?'
macro index <right> defrgt
macro index <left> deflft
---
As I said, the only thing missing is the conditional behaviour
of <right> key:
with my above macro if I open a single message thread, mutt
first shows that "thread" alone in one screen, and then I've
to press again <right> to display the only message contained.
It's not a great problem, but if mutt had conditional actions
support I would have solved also this point.
So, If you have any hints, suggests, comments, welcome!
Hope this message will be useful. :)
