Change mail folder without pressing = first?
The subject line hopefully says it all: the one thing that bothers me most in mutt is that I have to press = before changing mail folders. Is there a way to change this behaviour, so that I can type c and then directly the name of the mailbox? On my keyboard (norwegian), the = key is a shift+number key, which is quite awkward, especially if I do it frequenty (which I do). I'd be happy to trade it for typing some prefix if I want to change to some folder in the file system, which I don't do that often. My apologies in advance if this is already well-documented; I haven't found it.

These shortcuts can be used anywhere you are prompted for a file or mailbox path. * ! -- refers to your $spoolfile (incoming) mailbox * -- refers to your $mbox file * -- refers to your $record file * ^ -- refers to the current mailbox * - or !! -- refers to the file you've last visited * ~ -- refers to your home directory * = or + -- refers to your $folder directory * @alias -- refers to the default save folder as determined by the address of the alias -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USAHOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535@ http://counter.li.org
