About https://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3930 (979f1e669c16 wrecked the sort prompt) and https://dev.mutt.org/trac/changeset/979f1e669c16/ the sort prompt used to propose choices with parentheses, e.g.
(d)ate/(f)rm/(r)ecv/... then was changed to capital letters in 6912:67525605640e Date/Frm/Recv/... probably because with the new sort method, the prompt would have been longer than 80 characters, then it was changed back to parentheses in 7011:979f1e669c16 because multi-line prompts are now supported. In such choice prompts, I find the parentheses style a bit hard to read, and capital letters are not much better when the letter is not the first one. Why not highlighting the letter instead, as done in other applications? The highlight style should be configurable as usual via the color and mono commands. Note: In the Mutt code, parentheses could still be used in translation strings, and Mutt would transform the parentheses to real highlighting. The argument with the list of letters is redundant and may yield issues with translations (more risks of errors, potential inconsistencies when the English string changes but the translation hasn't been updated yet); it should be removed. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
