Re: I how to customize the help line on top
Yeah, you are right, thanks. I was like reverse MIdas yesterday. Everything I touched turned to shit. The Lab Tech said she'd never heard me swear before.

Re: I how to customize the help line on top
OK I did an experiment and it worked. When you open mutt it shows the index view and that displays the default bindings that Michael Kaiser asked about. If we change the default bindings in /etc/Muttrc or ~/.muttrc then the top line should alter as requested. I only have access to a Windows 7 pc at the moment so I got a copy of win32mutt (i.e. mutt-1.4) and put these two commands at the bottom of /etc/Muttrc bind index x quit bind index q help Now on launching mutt the top of line of the display shows: x:Quit d:Del The first bind command does not work on its own as that leaves q still functioning correctly. Now I feel like a smart-alec. M

Now I feel like a smart-alec. Unfortunately, that is still not what is being asked. :) For example, could you put the 'compose mail' command in the menu bar and show the binding? -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X

OK you got me. I found this in the source code for curs_main.c (not
that I understand source code mind)
static const struct mapping_t IndexHelp[] = {
{ N_("Quit"), OP_QUIT },
{ N_("Del"), OP_DELETE },
{ N_("Undel"), OP_UNDELETE },
{ N_("Save"), OP_SAVE },
{ N_("Mail"), OP_MAIL },
{ N_("Reply"), OP_REPLY },
{ N_("Group"), OP_GROUP_REPLY },
{ N_("Help"), OP_HELP },
{ NULL,0 }
};
which is clearly something to do with it but if you have to change
source code then you'd have to recompile also. I've not found a way to
do, say,
bind index L list-reply
it just does _not work. I'll have a scratch around anyhow and see if I
find anything.

If all you need is an occasional reminder of which key is for which account, typing ? will show the help menu for the current screen. The help menu includes user-defined bindings and macros. The only other way I can think of to display a custom line on the screen is to use the status line and the 'status_format' variable. Fitting your function key operations on that line could be a tight squeeze, though, unless you use a wide terminal. Note that I'm replying to the list as well so that others can see and comment on your request and my reply. Regards, Gary
