How to move from end of one thread to beginning of next by pressing "n"?

How to move from end of one thread to beginning of next by pressing "n"?

[Richard H. Stanton]

I’ve recently installed notmuch with lieer and now have it successfully bringing my mail over from gmail so I can read it locally inside Emacs. This is very nice, and I particularly love the speed of notmuch’s searches. However, I’m not seeing how to get notmuch to do something that seems desirable (and obvious) to me:

If I press RETURN to view a message, “n” and “p” move to the next/previous message *in the thread*, but motion with “n” stops when you get to the end of the thread. Is there a way to set things so that “n” moves from the end of the current thread to the beginning of the next? This would make going through my emails a lot more convenient, especially as most of my “threads” only have one message in them.

Thanks for any suggestions.

For me it is capital "N" and "P", (notmuch-show-next-message), (notmuch-show-previous-message).

I don't think that exists as a current option.

You can use the space bar to advance to the next thread.

Thanks, Carl. Using tree mode seems to solve my problem.

Is there a way to have all searches use tree mode by default? I know I can set this as part of each individual search, but it would save typing if there were a setting to make this the default.

I am sorry, I goofed.

It is M-p (notmuch-show-previous-thread-show) and M-n
(notmuch-show-next-thread-show)

As far as I can tell it comes mapped to those keys.

That works! Thanks, Jon.\r
