Newbie question defining deleted map

Newbie question defining deleted map

[Jürgen Beier]

Hi,

I am trying to set up notmuch-emacs.

I found the advice in the faq to define an key map "d" to add a "deleted 
tag" to the mail to be used in the notmuch message mode.

I put according to the advice the following in my .emacs file:


(define-key notmuch-show-mode-map "d"
     (lambda ()
       (interactive)
        (notmuch-show-tag "+deleted")))


and I get the following error:


Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading 
`/home/beier/.emacs':

Symbol's value as variable is void: notmuch-show-mode-map

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

Doing this I get the following:


Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable notmuch-show-mode-map)
   (define-key notmuch-show-mode-map "d" (function (lambda nil 
(interactive) (notmuch-show-tag "+deleted"))))
   eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil "/home/beier/.emacs" nil t)  ; 
Reading at buffer position 17386
   load-with-code-conversion("/home/beier/.emacs" "/home/user/.emacs" t t)
   load("~/.emacs" t t)

Could you give me some advice? Thank you.

where is that advice?

perhaps putting that to ~/.emacs.d/notmuch-config.el helps ?

that file is loaded *after* notmuch is loaded so the keymap is defined

It seems worth noting that recent versions of notmuch-emacs have a
binding 'k d' that addes the deleted tag. This works at least in
notmuch-search, notmuch-show and notmuch-tree mode.

Indeed! I always forgot to remove my current alternative binding for doing
that!

My system is Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon on Ubuntu. There is no 
notmuch-config.el in ~/-emacs.d/

I have notmuch and notmuch-emacs version 0.21-3ubuntu2, GNU Emacs 24.5.1,

Obviously too old.
