Hi All,
Would it be possible/useful to add a type of hook that get triggered depending
of the screen currently displayed ?
ex:
to get sidebar visible when seeing index screen
screen-hook index '<enter-command>"set sidebar_visible=yes"<enter>'
to hide sidebar when seeing pager screen
screen-hook pager '<enter-command>"set sidebar_visible=no"<enter>'
or even better:
screen-hook !pager '<enter-command>"set sidebar_visible=yes"<enter>'
screen-hook pager '<enter-command>"set sidebar_visible=no"<enter>'
How do you think ?

If I missed a simple way to achieve above, let me know, I would be happy to
hear about it :-)
I wish to hide the sidebar when viewing emails, because copying >1 line of text
with the mouse unfortunately includes the content of the sidebar in the copy
buffer.
Currently I am using following tricks that unfortunately fail time to time to
show the sidebar again :
message-hook ~A 'set sidebar_visible=no'
macro pager q '<enter-command>set sidebar_visible=yes<enter><exit>'
(adapted from
https://jhutar.blogspot.com/2018/09/hide-sidebar-when-viewing-message-in.html)
macro index \CB '<enter-command>toggle sidebar_visible<enter><refresh>'
macro pager \CB '<enter-command>toggle sidebar_visible<enter><redraw-screen>'
To increase the cases where sidebar_visible=yes happens, I had to make other
hooks I use more complex, ex:
folder-hook "$my_mailboxname/in$" macro index d
'<save-message>+$my_mailboxname/trash<enter><enter-command>"set
sidebar_visible=yes"<enter>'
folder-hook "$my_mailboxname/trash$" macro index d
'<delete-message><enter-command>"set sidebar_visible=yes"<enter>'
folder-hook "$my_mailboxname/old$" macro index <F12>
'<save-message>+$my_mailboxname/in<enter><enter-command>"set
sidebar_visible=yes"<enter>'
folder-hook "$my_mailboxname/in$" macro index <F12>
'<save-message>+$my_mailboxname/old<enter><enter-command>"set
sidebar_visible=yes"<enter>'
folder-hook "$my_mailboxname/trash$" macro index <F12>
'<save-message>+$my_mailboxname/in<enter><enter-command>"set
sidebar_visible=yes"<enter>'
Even with above, when manually saving mails in other mailboxes (via 's' or
';s'), I have to manually make sidebar visible again.

screen-hook, context-hook, mode-hook... (doesn't matter)
Kind regards,
