You've overridden <shell-escape>, bound to '!' by default, with your
macro. But then you are trying to use '!' inside the macro. That's a
loop - instead of calling <shell-escape> you are calling your macro
inside the macro.
Oh boy! That's embarrassing (even though I didn't write the macro, but
I got it somewhere or from someone). LOL
Also, I don't want to override <shell-escape> at all! I was just using
! because it happens to be beside the " in my (Spanish) keyboard and now
I'm using " in a macro to fetch my inbox like so:
macro index \" "!/usr/bin/mbsync inbox\n"
macro pager \" "!/usr/bin/mbsync inbox\n"
But, actually, I won't be needing that when I can fetch the current
maildir I'm working in with the new macros I'm trying to get working,
so, I'll be using " for that (in case I'm not missing something with
overriding ", too).
Try (untested):
macro index \! "<shell-escape>/usr/bin/mbsync \$MYSYNCFOLDER\n"
That somehow works, as does:
macro index \" "!/usr/bin/mbsync \$MYSYNCFOLDER\n"
But, when I use it, I get:
No channel or group named '~/mail/mutt/' defined.
It seems that the folder hooks are fetching the current maildir name
relative to my home, but mbsync would need its name relative to ~/mail/?
Maybe adding some grep rule into the hooks would make that ~/mail/ part
go away?
Cheers,
