Dear all,
I have been looking for a usable notmuch client for some time. Now I found the alot client
which seems to be the best for my needs. I have used mutt-kz so far. And here are some
questions:
1. As vi user I alway type gg/G to jump to the top/bottom. Is there a command that I can
configure this way? I have not found a jump to top/bottom command in the manual.
2. Mutt has a nice feature, the Attach: pseudo header. It can be used to attach files from
within the editor. I use this small vi macro to attach files:
" mutt: insert attachment with ranger
fun! RangerMuttAttach()
if filereadable('/tmp/chosendir')
silent !ranger --choosefiles=/tmp/chosenfiles --choosedir=/tmp/chosendir "$(cat /tmp/chosendir)"
else
silent !ranger --choosefiles=/tmp/chosenfiles --choosedir=/tmp/chosendir
endif
if filereadable('/tmp/chosenfiles')
call append(3, map(readfile('/tmp/chosenfiles'), '"Attach: ".escape(v:val," \t\\")'))
call system('rm /tmp/chosenfiles')
endif
redraw!
endfun
map <C-a> :call RangerMuttAttach()<CR>
imap <C-a> <ESC>:call RangerMuttAttach()<CR>a
I would like to use the same with alot. Is it possible?
3. I have followed the instructions to use abook for contact completion. I have used abook with mutt as well.
So I have put these two lines in my config:
[[[abook]]]
type = abook
But I did not find a way how to use it. Can anybody tell me?
Thanks in advance
Joseph
