Is all of this really easier than just adding the following to your .emacs?: (define-key notmuch-search-mode-map "o" (lambda () (interactive) (notmuch-show-add-tag "notmuch::patch") (notmuch-show-add-tag "notmuch::obsolete") (notmuch-show-remove-tag "notmuch::needs-review"))) That seems really simple to me, and doesn't require us to support a bunch of code to do complicated customization stuff. Rather than have protracted conversations about key bindings or continue to make more complicated configuration setups, I would like to push the idea that we support a bunch of nice simple functions to do common, useful operations (like tagging and navigation), and let users build macros as they see fit. I think this is a lot more flexible, and takes a lot of the maintenance burden off of us. I've been wanting to put together a wiki page that lists all the useful functions and has examples of how to put them together into useful functions. jamie. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJPFxSKAAoJEO00zqvie6q8zIgP/RQlmiTSXCtnajdR/OvWoHjv GA8XS3GHWgfIk7UXm4M4h580mxKi4qWitgMP1qkost9oZGU5Vpf/1uR6gOWhCyEz H9eQfY0CtMgSywQJZ/RCceYQOCaygy8BTtVD+KZJyBEbIn4jgVRW/FLwn5kSqaBb xEEkEkfWTIpOcuF5qCoW1W3OF7rw1MxVBNtB1n8wptNmkjl9EI42P/W3SKfB8LpZ 3ZwBSNHpB4tuW0S/70/q9jY8X/H7rM38gp09GfcIWL+aVjq8nEe9pQqcTQ8JVIoN FAYHGcrN2sBSPqmJgrebI2k9IEJvn3eaFm5DJ/1E83V3Ww66kjNyXwaDKCe6woVi w2wZ4/F+4gesxAiPbh7gm/oLCfqDxfe9esx9SNFgZAkkSw2RgC3ZiQFrqNVMPqLP 1YXbSM+fi9QrxzoL9VO7lCYrlLHCxk92ftjUVFgylNK04JLO+nbGs/pXDy8Z2qlN jUJvgboD+T113hoVRPgRoaaZKnwnHSFY/4HoNCIluFf+1G8cK/jG/i3Kgva1I8Tl xfoM6Weyn4wx/0ANsKUgoNjMD5XeUFaUgHmHg0BkvhONlDWsA5ZyhaWT3xs7zhGJ 9gwRwQlASJGef2Pe6qsYwSu6jQfib6KmsQuxXhQZJCgU4R3J/E2tsFtKgr2WuWiG 3Ec9+/bvJmBz7KgTNzth =GOdA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
