First we unbind all existing key mappings and then we slowly build up
our own again. May be somewhat unnecessary but I have been getting
_very_ confused with neomutt mappings just popping up all over the place
and never quite sure if they were from me or default settings or where
exactly they were configured.
This provides a clean slate to build upon.
Renamed `mutt2task` to `neomutt-2task`, and renamed `sync-mail` to
`neomutt-syncmail`.
Changed key maps accordingly. Also systemd service even though I don't
think I'll use it again.
We have differentiated views of new (italic) and unread (underline, and
a bit of highlight on the author) messages.
Additionally the indicator highlighting works better with the rest of
the colors, and we have a better paperclip icon icon for attachments.
E-Mails have 2-staged flag options for levels of 'seen':
Unseen/Seen and Unread/Read.
A message is unseen if it has arrived since the last time we had mutt
open. We do not have to have had the actual message open for it to be
marked seen (or 'old'). In other words, whichever messages we have seen
once on the index alone are not 'new' to us anymore, they have been
seen.
On the other hand, a message is only read if it is actually opened. So
even if we have seen it on the index page, or moved it to a different
mailbox or anything else, it can still be unread if we did not open it.
Additionally, I have it set up now so that the message only gets set to
'read' by neomutt after it has been open for 1 second.
This gives a tiny grace period if we are scrubbing through mails or
accidentally opened one we did not want.
Some macros ceased to work. I am not sure if it was because they
were deprecated and stopped working with a new version or they
never fully worked in the first place. Either way, now it is
running again.
By invoking 'print' for ics files from neomutt we can simply
add it to our local calendar directly from the interface.
Neat little 'cheat' to provide custom functions for specific
file types.
Changed some colors, some keymaps and made it more flexible for new mail
account setups. Also removed most of the static gmail-related account
stuff since I don't need this in my public repo.
Updated key mappings to use `,` as the 'local-prefix' (or 'macro-prefix') which
allows easier setup for an additional functionality layer.
Also make `dd` the standard way to delete a whole sub-thread instead of
single mail by single mail of a conversation. That functionality can now
be achieved with `dD` instead, while `dd` removes a whole thread (not
just sub-thread).
Added page up/down movement with the C-u/d/b/f key combinations, as well
as message and thread removal with dd (message), dT (thread) and dt
(sub-thread) chords.
Replies have been changed to rr (reply all) or ro (reply one).
The 'new' flag can be toggled by s (for seen) as previously, though now
other flags can be toggled with S and all messages can be marked as seen
with C-s.
Other things are mostly the same, though threads can be collapsed with
za (one) or zA (all) and moved between with gt/gT.
The beginning of what I hope can be a useful integration: send mails to
taskwarrior as tasks and open the corresponding mail from tasks in
taskwarrior.
To make a task out of an e-mail, in neomutt, simply press `t` when the
mail is selected or opened. It will create an automatic task in
taskwarrior with the description "Reply to [mail] by [sender]" and tag
it as mail.
If you press `T` instead, you can give the task your own description and
tags.
In taskwarrior, you can simply `t open <taskid>` on a task that came
from neomutt to show the message content on the command line (using
notmuch). This is still a bit rudimentary and I would like an improved
display, but it works for now.
