hello,
could somebody please advise on the following issues?
when in run mutt in terminal emulator, it reacts to the scroll wheel of my
mouse. Is it possible to disable mouse entirely? There is no mention of the
word "mouse" in man mutt.
Well, not sure if this is Mutt specific, but terminal emulator specific.
If you're on a tty, perhaps gpm is running? If you're on a pseudo
terminal, just disable the mouse input in your terminal emulator (xterm,
urxvt etc... see their corresponding manuals).
I had similar problem with midnight commander and I solved it by using
mc --nomouse. So I was hoping for similar command line option for mutt.
What is the correct way to cancel an operation? For example, when I press
'm' in index by mistake, how do I exit from the 'new mail operation'. When I
pres 'CTRL+c' mutt asks 'Exit mutt?' (with default yes), so I have to press
n all the time. Is there no better way to undo a wrong key press?
To cancel a question or anything that had put you into the Mutt command
input, just press CTRL+g.
Not sure what you mean by the new mail operation, but you can back out
from the composer by exiting your editor, and exiting from the 'compose'
screen (answering no to "postpone this message", if you wish).
On any screen, just use the question mark to invoke the online key
bingind help to figure out how to exit.
I have a macro to move message to my archive folder:
macro index,pager S "<save-message>=archive<enter>" "move messages"
it works, but there are two small problems:
1) It operates only on one (the current) message, not on all tagged
messages.
There is a generic binding:
; tag-prefix apply next function to tagged messages
Pressing ';' before 'S' would execute 'S' on every tagged message.
btw, this works with any function, of course.
2) it actually does not move the message immediately. It copies it to
archive and tags it as deleted in the inbox. Is there a way to execute the
"move" immediately (without having them in inbox selected as deleted)?
This is how it works. You must sync the mailbox to purge the messages
that were being marked for deletion. You can append the <sync-mailbox>
function to the macro (but then 'S' will of course purge any other
messages marked for delete and all-in-all do everything that eg. '$'
would have done).
I have modified my macro, but <sync-mailbox> seems to make no
difference. I still see the message in inbox as marked deleted.
macro index,pager S
"<tag-prefix><save-message>=archive<enter><sync-mailbox>"
thanks,
Martin
No problem, hope this helps; enjoy Mutt! :)
