Added filtering by dump tag *or* folder to afew so that incoming mail
should automatically be filed exclusively in inbox or the dump for
notmuch.
Additionally changed the exception for inbox display from list to dump
tags in aerc, so that -- should there be a legitimate mailing list mail,
such as gitlab's pipeline reports -- they are still visible in inbox.
Improved completion menu by allowing c-p,c-n scrolling through it.
Removed automatically resizing buffers, use c-w= if you need it.
Added scrolloff, controlling the amount of lines that are always
under/above the cursor. This fixes the cursor being at the very bottom
of the page, after doing e.g. zb or zt and will allow seeing a bit more
information around it at all times.
The module will pick up the current state of the systemd mbsync.timer
and display an according icon (sleepy bell if auto-sync is off, mail
icon if auto-sync is on).
It will use notmuch counters to show only unread mails in the inbox,
which generally constitute the 'new' mails one wants to know about.
It will not display anything if it did not find 'new' mails.
Lastly, right-clicking allows starting the auto-sync timer and left
clicking allows to stop it.
FIXME: The icon will only update on the next update interval of the
module itself (which is set at 300 seconds). That means, after clicking
the icon to start or stop the auto-sync, the actual state will not be
reflected by the icon for a couple of minutes.
Detect X autostart a bit better with a separate service. The service
relies on a shell script which searches for a socket which X creates on
startup and only finishes when it finds the socket succesfully.
This makes services which need X to start successfully a bit more
robust, and while it can still break if X takes too long, it should be
more stable now.
Finally, services can restart more quickly when ended since they don't
require the 2+ `RestartSec` option to be present anymore to successfully
start.
Update `mail-check` script to notify the user both of newly arrived
mail, and in case he has to enter his password to sync the mail.
HACK the paths and ways of finding out if passwords can be decrypted are
static and only applicable to my set up. This needs to be completely
revised and newly approached.
When called over systemd, pass will not display a pin-entry field to
decrypt the necessary passwords for email synching.
This prepares automatic background synching.
Fixed running the hooks for `mail-check`. Command (or variable?)
substition prevented the hooks from running completely beforehand, so I
moved them to a separate function with the option remaining to call a
custom script for them through environment variables.
Ideally the env vars (`MBSYNC_PRE` and `MBSYNC_POST`) should only point
to a single script each, as more involved commands will presumably fail
to execute correctly when whitespace substition is involved.

Moved the file containing sender addresses to filter to the
XDG_DATA_HOME directory (usually `~/.local/share/imapfilter/`) where it
will look for a `rollup.txt` file.
This is to separate the configuration values (the filters themselves)
somewhat from the data they act on (values to filter and searches to
accomplish).
Added option to imapfilter to continuously run in the background and
watch for new incoming mail through the Imap IDLE mode.
By default it will run as one-shot and just sort mail according to
currently active filters. But if enabling the `CONTINUOUS` mode in
config file, it will instead keep running and continuously check for
arriving mail to filter.
This could, in the future, be useful to run on a separate server which
watches remote imap folders and pulls them down to its own storage.
For local usage, a systemd service and timer unit are probably more
suitable than the daemonization of imapfilter.
afew will locally add notmuch tags to mails, as well as move them to
specific folders according to the notmuch tags they already contain.
This sets mails residing in the `Dump` folder to be tagged
correspondingly with `dump`.
(imapfilter automatically puts all filtered
adverts and mailing lists into the dump folder beforehand.)
On the other hand, it makes sure that email tagged with `dump` also
resides in the `Dump` folder (if tagged manually with notmuch), and same
thing for `Inbox`.
Flashfocus did not start up correctly since it was not required for the
`default.target` which is the only (?) valid target when systemd
operates in user-mode.
Instead of overwriting just part of the flashfocus service file, and
subsequently having it enabled for default.target and a non-existent
graphical.target user environment, we overwrite the whole file and set
it to `default.target`.
Additionally, the service should be restarted when it fails and slow
down on its restart attempts (I kept 5 seconds for this one, since it is
not as time critical as others -- no one cares if windows only flash
5 seconds after starting the machine.)
Added (wishful) After components to many service units, in case I figure
out one day how to make a useful target for the systemd user mode.
Changed rollup filter to read the files to be rolled up from 'rollup.txt'
file in the imapfilter configuration directory. (by default in XDG
basedir-compliant directory such as '~/.config/imapfilter/rollup.txt')
The file consists of sender addresses with a single address on each
line.
Make imapfilter configuraiton more flexible to prepare for different
filters being added.
The program will expect its configuration and filter files to be located
in XDG directory structure, within the sub-folder 'filters'.
E.g.: `/home/user/.config/imapfilter/filters`
A global `configDir` variable is available for any filters, which
describes the path to the current configuration directory.
The path to the filter directory can also be accessed through
`getFilterDir()`.
The configuration runs `accounts.lua` and expects it to return a table
with the individual imap boxes as top level entries, so that filters can
then loop through each account as needed.
Lastly, the config will automatically apply all filters found in the
filters sub-folder. A filter is a '.lua' file within the directory.
Other files can exist in the dir and will not be touched.
Added hook for afew tagging for local mail.
Mail will now arrive tagged only as 'new' by notmuch.
afew will then tag the mail accordingly as inbox unread when it is
personal mail.
It will additionally filter out anything marked as spam, or e-mail
containing a List-Id header, which will be tagged as 'list' and not
arrive in the inbox. This filters out anything arriving from a mailing
list from the inbox.
Removed the archive tag -- anything not in the inbox, and not marked as
list is instead used as an automatic archive.
Mail sent by myself will be automatically tagged as 'sent' and also not
show up in the mailbox.
Added `mail-searchcontacts` script, which uses notmuch to search for all
contacts of the mail database.
Can be invoked without any arguments to list *all* contacts of the
dataase in descending order of message count.
Otherwise, it will filter known contacts, first by prioritizing the
'from:' field, and otherwise by searching through the whole database for
the keywords passed in.
It will also re-format the results so that the list consists of
tab-delineated 'mail name' rows. If there is no name, the row will only
contain the bare e-mail address. This format is best accepted by aerc,
for which the script is written.
aerc uses the contacts script for its address completion in editing
e-mail headers.
Renamed `checkmail` to `mail-check` to fit the naming scheme of
`mail-[action]` for mail scripts, to better be able to group them in the
shell.
imapfilter now looks for account information in an accounts.lua file in
its configuration directory -- the file should return account
information as a table with each account being a top-level entry in the
table.
A sample spam-moving script has been supplied:
For now, it will take a list of sender addresses and put everything in
the list from the inbox into the dump directory.
An example list of senders has been supplied for testing purposes, but
this should eventually be read from a file containing an extensible list
of senders (and perhaps even different properties such as subject, etc.)
The imapfilter xdg alias has been fixed.
Coherence between the imap folder structure and notmuch tagging system
still has to be achieved -- either by aerc using the folder structure as
a query map, or notmuch tags automatically being applied for specific
imap filtering options.
Added script to call for checking mail. Will run individual pre- and
post-hooks. (By default, imapfilter and notmuch update.)
Simple options can be changed through environment variables:
Hooks can be set to different scripts with MBSYNC_PRE and
MBSYNC_POST, respectively.
Will also run mbsync repeatedly, until it exits without error. By
default it will try running it 3 times before giving up, this can be set
with MBSYNC_MAX_TRIES.
No functional imapfilters have been added yet.
mbsync and imapfilter both adhere to the XDG base directory layout
(somewhat), checking for their option files in .config/{isync,imapfilter}
respectively.
Everything still pending changes, the mail eco-system is hard to
wrap one's head around.
Sets zathura to open itself with the recolored version of the pdf
instead of the usual (mostly white background/black lettering).
This works in concert with styler which will automatically set the
correct coloring in 'zathurarc' for the currently applied desktop theme.
Changes the copy mode to send anything copied to the clipboard instead
of primary selection, since I never use primary selection.
Adds a simple keymap to print a file (p) and makes it slightly harder to
accidentally rotate a file by moving rotate from r to s-r.
The application autostart takes too long and is more intrusive than
anticipated. If I want to use qutebrowser, I can just start qutebrowser
on my and don't need to wait for i3 to do it for me --- especially since
the starting procedure takes a while and the application starts on the
wrong workspace anyways when it autostarts while I change desktops.
Spotify is not installed currently and throws an error each time, so
that is also not very useful.
An option for this to make a return might be as automatically starting
systemd services, which quickly switch to the correct workspace when the
application actually starts up -- but it is probably not worth the
hassle.
Lastly, this let's me get rid of a script in the i3 configuration
directory, which did not really belong there anyways with the XDG
distinction of 'configuration' and 'data'.
Clarified naming scheme in sxhkd-chain-labels documentation.
Updated year for vim copyright shortcut.
Enabled automatic copying to clipboard by neovim for every yank action.
Every so often, when doing rebases, you need quick access to the git
rebase command to do something like '--edit-todo' or similar.
Every time, I tried to do `grb` since I already use these quick
shortcuts for `grbm` rebasing onto master, and `grbi`, `grbc` to rebase
interactively or continue one in progress. The base version is thus a
natural extension of the more detailed implementations of rebasing.
`git pushall` (aliased to gpa) will push the current branch to each
connected remote of the repository.
So, if you have gitlab, github and keybase connected as remotes, it will
push to each one in return. As with the normal push command, you can
specify which branch to push ('master', 'develop', ..) after the
command, or use `--all` to push all branches at once.
Removed manual initialization of flashfocus from xinitrc, enabled the
service in systemd.
Changed the restart timer to 5 seconds, to mirror other X-dependent user
services to circumvent systemd being too eager to start the service
before X is ready on booting.
Fixed the download media (`<leader>dm`) option in qutebrowser to
download the link that is hinted and not the current page.
To download the current page, the keymapping remains the same as before
(`<leader>dM`).
Enabling both servers will allow more messages to get through, and it
does not really constrain the server resources too much.
an2linux should be clever enough to use *either* wifi or bluetooth in
mirroring the messages, depending on which one it finds connected to the
server/client.
Removed autostarting of new tmux sessions for each new alacritty window.
The auto-closing and deluge of unnamed sessions did not help keep any
kind of organizational scheme, and lead to actual named sessions (like
notes, and dot) to perish under the mountain of sessions.
Switched sxhkd shortcut from rofi-gopass to new rofi-pass
implementation.
Additionally switched from pulsemixer to pavolume for media key volume
control. Pulsemixer works well as a tui application, but its cli
implementation is unbearably slow (on my setup at the very least).
After pressing the volume up/down/mute key it could take up to 3 seconds
to take effect. With pavolume this change happens almost
instantaneously, and it displays a libnotify message on top (can be
disabled).
Switched default search engine for my personal searx engine.
Added search engine bangs for duckduckgo (ddg), man-pages (man),
alternativeto.net (alt).
Added key mapping to quickly open last downloaded file, especially
useful for downloaded pdf documents or similar files.
<leader>o will open the last file.
Main issue the restart delay fixes is that services don't wait for X to
be ready on startup (which is bad if the application being started
requires X being ready to actually work.)
I have still not found a way to work around waiting for X being ready
other then the ugly delay hack (for systemd --user modules at least).
However, the delay can be --- in most cases --- smaller than 5 seconds.
All my machines start reasonably fast and have X up and running from
pressing login to staring at the wallpaper in a couple seconds at most.
If services don't start correctly and the error is X not being ready,
increase the startup delay once again.
Additionally to gopass editing, editing pass files should also avoid
creating external undo files, backups, and similar traceable files out
of which secrets could leak.
This prevents their creation on a wide level.
Previously, the password could only be revealed -- once revealed it
could not be obfuscated anymore.
Now the obfuscated/deobfuscated state can be toggled by hitting the
corresponding keymapping repeatedly (default Alt+s in entry menu).
Moved all invocations of gopass to pass. Changed the inner workings of a
few functions to cope with the fewer utility functions in pass instead
of go (no auto-clipping, no flat item listing).
Perhaps still somewhat brittle but should overall have feature parity to
older rofi-gopass script.
Fixed bug when line in todo dropdown starts with `vim:`, `vi:`, or `:ex`
which would automatically be read by vim and tried to be set in the
editor. Removed modeline reading from vim to fix the bug, and since it
provides quite an attack vector anyway.
Added Limelight to its startup procedure to highlight the current to-do
paragraph.
Using `gx` the currently selected file(s?) will get extracted,
automatically using the correct extraction program for the compression
algorithm and creating a folder if necessary to avoid a file explosion
in the current directory (all default features of the `atool` program
which is a dependency)
Removed the autostart for the to-do dropdown from i3, since this is now
being handled by systemd as a system service with autostart and
automatic restart functionality.
