Re[2]: jump to the next unread message - was - Re[2]: The Bat! - suggestions

1999-10-18 Thread Marck D. Pearlstone

On 18 October 1999 at 04:36, [EMAIL PROTECTED] told the list:

 It  scrolls  through  the message and then jumps to the next message,
 regardless  of  whether read or unread. It works perfectly, and there
 is no need for any bug report. ;-)

KR I guess it depends on what you want to do. Assume you have messages
KR sorted by ASCENDING date. Do you want to read the most recent message
KR first, then the next most recent, and so forth, moving back through
KR time? In other words, do you want to read the response before the
KR original message? If so, then it works perfectly...

KR To me, it's a bug; to you, maybe not. Maybe it would be best to have
KR an option to set the behavior.

Now  we're  getting  to  a  sensible  zone on a related "complaint". The
recent  interface  changes  included  the  much  maligned  change to the
Next/Previous  message  buttons  which  now  have  left/right instead of
up/down arrows.

*If*  these  buttons  really meant Next/Previous regardless of direction
then  1)  the  issue you just raised disappears and 2) the graphic makes
sense  in  that  up/down  direction  loses relevance while previous/next
logic is simplified.

AKL Ctrl+] - jump to the next unread (inside the current folder
AKL _only_)

 Yes, and I don't think there is a way to jump to an unread message in
 anotehr folder.

(see below)

AKL Ctrl+[ - jump to the previous _unread_ (inside the current folder
AKL _only_)

 As for these "short" keys, somebody suggested to change these to N for
 Next Unread and so on, I think the suggestions were based on
 Agent - I think that would be a good idea. Ctrl-] is really awkward to
 use.

KR Absolutely agree.

Personally,  I  sort  by  creation date, ascending and use the ticker to
review  all  incoming mail. I get a single review folder for the purpose
containing all of the unread mail (and *only* the unread mail) and I can
space-bar  /  cursor  / AltCursor through *all* of my new mail without
any problem or hindrance.

Cheers,
Marck

Well, OK. I never use quick seacrh. What does it do?

Hello, the Bat! list recipients,

Move  cursor  to  message  list area and just start typing fragment of
text.  Quick  Search window will be open, and cursor will jump to next
message  where  there  is subject or sender or addressee matching text
you  are  entering.  Pressing  Ctrl-Enter  moves  cursor  to  the next
matching message.

Something  very  similar (but without opening a window) working in the
folder tree area to find folder.

jump to the next unread message - was - Re[2]: The Bat! - suggestions

1999-10-17 Thread Andrew K. Lovetski

Hello, The Bat Users!

CG Is there a hotkey to jump to the next unread message (in another
CG folder, if necessary)?

Space key - it scrolls down the message, then jumps to the next (may
be depends on the sorting order (ascending, descending)... if it does,
then this is a bug and should be reported to RitLabs. I have no time
right now to test it, sorry)

Ctrl+]  - jump to the next unread (inside the current folder _only_)
Ctrl+[  - jump to the previous _unread_ (inside the current folder _only_)

Nope. It jumps to the message below the current one in the list, which
may be read or unread, and which may have an earlier or later date,
depending on the sorting.

Yes, I consider this a bug.

 Ctrl+]  - jump to the next unread (inside the current folder _only_)
 Ctrl+[  - jump to the previous _unread_ (inside the current folder _only_)

Yes, this is the way to do it.
