as a new user, I feel intimidated by the many key bindings in Mutt. Not
only do I see no chance of ever needing more than 5% of them, but I am
afraid that by accidentally pressing some key, I will perform some
"action" without knowing what happened.
I have very simple requirements from my email client. I don't need two
separate key binding for "next-entry" and "next-undeleted", for example.
I would like to unbind all key bindings, so that I can explicitly define
only those, that I am actually going to use.
While googling, I have discovered that I am not the only one having this
problem. There even seems to be a patch called "unbind":
http://home.uchicago.edu/~dgc/mutt/#unbind
but only for version 1.4 and 1.5.1. I am using mutt version
1.5.21-6.2+deb7u1, so I am not sure if that would work.
Could somebody please advise, what would be the best way to do it?
I would look at the help file in mutt and add to ~/.muttrc
bind <key> /dev/null
and then you would have a record of what you have changed and have a
simple way to revert.
not tested.
I have found the following in the manual:
bind index j noop
bind index k noop
the problem with this approach is, that I have to unbind every single
key-binding explicitly.
I was wondering whether there is a better solution
