2009-11-04notmuch.el: Don't hide long signatures.Carl Worth
Chances are, a signature above a certain threshold isn't just a signature, (for example, it could be an encrypted messages tacked onto the end of the file, or could be any sort of PS.) We add a new variable, notmuch-show-signature-lines-max that can be used to configure the threshold, (set to 6 by default for now).
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Fix to claim correct number of lines for hidden signature.Carl Worth
Previously, it was reporting that all signatures were 0 lines.
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Don't hide message bodies when all messages are read.Carl Worth
Presumably the user is trying to view this thread for a reason, so it's better to actually show *something* rather than just the summary lines.
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Make notmuch-search scroll commands move to first/last message.Carl Worth
If there's nothing to scroll but we're not yet on the first or last message then move point to that message.
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Override next-line and previous-line to make them reliable.Carl Worth
I noticed that these functions would sometimes leave point on an invisible character[*]. The problem would be that point would appear to be on a particular message, but adding or removing a tag would actually add/remove a tag from the *previous* message. Fix the C-n and C-p keybindings at least to call the underlying command and then advance to a visible character. We set this-command in our overrides so that the temporary-goal-column feature still works. [*] The documentation says that command loop is supposed to move point outside of any invisible region when a command exits. But apparently not.
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Un-break the magic space bar to scroll a long, single message.Carl Worth
Clearly some recent code was very fragile, which I noticed in that the space bar would no longer scroll a long message if it was the only message in a thread. This resulted in a lot of churn, but hopefully things are more robust now, (for example by using new predicates like notmuch-show-last-message-p rather than doing heuristics based on (eobp) or (window-end)). As usual, the presence of invisible characters complicates the task of making this stuff robust.
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Fix to show *something* when all messages are already read.Carl Worth
With the recent change of showing the first unread message, we would scroll down to the end of the buffer if all messages were already read. This would confusingly show nothing visible in the window. Instead, detect this case and move to the beginning of the buffer.
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Make magic space bar advance to next unread messages.Carl Worth
The magic of the space bar is all about unread messages, so there's no reason for it to advance to messages that have already been read. Similarly, we now remove any magic from (n)ext so that it simply advances to the next message without marking anything read, (which makes it symmetrical with (p)revious).
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Move to first unread message on notmuch-show.Carl Worth
This is important for when a new message is delivered to an existing enormous thread.
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Make next-message move to end of buffer after last message.Carl Worth
We need an easier way to detect when we're done with the last message so taking advantage of the end-of-buffer position helps here.
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Leave a blank line after last thread in search.Carl Worth
This allows for pleasant termination of the "show next thread" magic in notmuch-show mode. Now, it will terminate and show the notmuch-search results rather than continually displaying the last thread over and over.
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Move "show next thread" from magic-space-bar to archive-threadCarl Worth
If I explicitly hit the 'a' key before reading the whole thread, I still want to advance to the next thread in my search.
2009-11-04notmuch.el: More magic for magic space bar: Show next thread from search.Carl Worth
This is implemented by stashing away the parent notmuch-search buffer into a variable within the notmuch-show buffer. Then, when magic space bar triggers an archive of the current thread, it switches to the parent search buffer and shows the next thread.
2009-11-04notmuch.el: notmuch-search: Advance to next line before showing thread.Carl Worth
The idea here is that after viewing the thread, when we come back to this buffer we'll be all ready to view the next thread.
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Make archive-thread more efficient for already archived messages.Carl Worth
The approach here is to move the optimization from mark-read to the more general remove-tag. Namely, don't call out to a "notmuch tag" command to remove a tag that's not there already.
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Make the magic spacebar archive a thread in the end.Carl Worth
Next all it needs to do is kill the buffer and show the next thread.
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Start implementing the magic space bar.Carl Worth
Currently this will either advance by screenfuls, or to the next message if it's already within a screenful, and will mark each message read as it is left. It doesn't yet complete the magic by archiving the messages nor by advancing to the next thread in the search.
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Fix to hide citations in body of read messages.Carl Worth
Previously, unhinding a read message would still show all the citations in that message without an explicit command to make them visible. Fix.
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Redefine behavior of notmuch-show-previous-messageCarl Worth
Now, if the user has manually moved point to somewhere within a message, executing the previous-message command onece will rewind point only to the beginning of the current message. Previously this would go back to the previous message, (which the user can now do easily and naturally by simply executing the command one more time).
2009-11-04notmuch.el: Fix notmuch-snow-next-message when on the last message.Carl Worth
Before this just brought the current line to the top of the window. Now it actually moves to the beginning of the current message. This is built on a much more solid foundation now with a function to move to the summary-line of the current message, and then moving from there.
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Add more complete documentation to the major modes.Carl Worth
These now provide a summary of the most useful features/bindings as well as a complete printout of the relevant mode maps to show all available keybindings.
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Make archive-thread advance to next line.Carl Worth
This is the command in notmuch-search mode and it's cer convenient for it to advance to the next line there. (It would be even more convenient if it didn't also take forever, but as mentioned before that's an issue we'll need to fix in Xapian.)
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Add 't' binding to filter results to a specific tag.Carl Worth
This is a convenience function to avoid having to type "tag:" with the (f)ilter command.
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Add bindings for scrolling to notmuch-search mode.Carl Worth
We turn on the scroll-preserve-screen-position option which seems like what's desired here, (though that's not what I normally use when editing files---but I think scrolling through a list of email threads is different).
2009-11-03Drop inapplicable copyright statements.Carl Worth
I had put these in here since I had originally planned to copy liberally from the body of the implementation of 'compile in order to get process output into a buffer. But once I found call-process in the documentation of emacs, that was all I needed. And all the code I've written since has been entirely my own with just the help of emacs documentation.
2009-11-03notmuch-el: Fix implementation of show/hide-thread-ids.Carl Worth
I'm definitely more comfortable with the add-to-invisibility-spec now than I was when I first wrote these functions, (which weren't working at all).
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Add command to (a)rchive a thread from notmuch-show mode.Carl Worth
This is our first race-free implementation of archive-thread! It acts only on the messages explcitly contained in the buffer, not on an entire thread ID, so it's safe in the face of new messages have been delivered for this thread since the view was made.
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Don't try to remove an "unread" tag that's not there.Carl Worth
This optimization wouldn't be necessary if we had a nice fast "notmuch tag" command. But since it's currently fairly slow, (see Xapian defect 250: http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/250), we're willing to take some extra care to avoid calling "notmuch tag" unnecessarily.
2009-11-03notmuch show: Remove custom "unread" hack, (printing tag in two locations).Carl Worth
I previously had a hack that special-cased the "unread" tag and printed it on the same line as the message ID. But now that we are printing all tags at the end of the one-line summary we don't need this anymore. Get rid of it, and just read "unread" from the list of tags just like any other tag.
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Add + and - bindings to add/remove tags from messages.Carl Worth
This is in notmuch-show mode rather than in notmuch-search mode, (where we had + and - working already). This gives the same visual feedback as in notmuch-search-mode, (the tags are manipulated first in the database and then the list of tags in the buffer is updated).
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Preserve current thread when refreshing search results.Carl Worth
Otherwise, try to keep point in the same place, (such as when the current thread has been archived away).
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Add an '=' key to refresh the current view.Carl Worth
This will allow for updates when a separate process (say, a notmuch- show buffer), has archived messages.
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Mark messages read when the (n)ext keybinding is pressedCarl Worth
Of course, technically, we're removing the "unread" tag, but you get the idea. :-)
2009-11-03notmuch.el: Hide citations and signatures.Carl Worth
The user can make these visible again by pressing 'c' or 's', (though we'd like to move to direct manipulation instead soon).
2009-11-03Hide bodies of message that have already been read.Carl Worth
Also hide all markers. From here, all we really need for legibility is the following: * Hide away citations and signatures * Call out the one-line summary some way, (larger font size?) * Add nesting for replies
2009-11-02notmuch.el: Hide email headers by default.Carl Worth
The display of the header can be toggled with the 'h' key.
2009-11-02notmuch show: Switch to control character to mark sections of outputCarl Worth
We were previously using things like "%message{" which were not guaranteed to never appear in an email message. Using a control character (^L or '\f' instead of '%') gives us better assurance that our delimiter doesn't show up in an original email message. This still isn't entirely safe since we're decoding encoded text in the body of the email message so almost all bets are off really.
2009-11-02notmuch.el: Make 'n' and 'p' bring the current message to the top.Carl Worth
This is much more convenient for reading the messages, and happens to match the behavior of sup.
2009-11-02notmuch.el: Add (n)ext and (p)revious bindings to notmuch-show mode.Carl Worth
Almost starting to get usable now. Still need to make it mark messages as they are read, (by removing the unread tag), and selectively hiding the full header.
2009-11-02notmuch.el: Add '<' and '>' bindings to goto first/last thread.Carl Worth
Also, take care to remove a final blank line to avoid the point going beyond the last thread in the buffer.
2009-11-02notmuch.el: Add commands to (s)earch globally, and (f)ilter a searchCarl Worth
Also add 'q' and 'x' keybindings to kill the current buffer.
2009-11-02notmuch.el: Hide thread IDs in notmuch-search mode.Carl Worth
One more baby step toward something that's pleasant to use.
2009-11-02notmuch.el: Implement visual feedback for add/remove tags.Carl Worth
There's no undo still, but at least you can see what you are doing now.
2009-10-31notmuch.el: Add commands to add tag, remove tag, and archive (== remove inbox tag)Carl Worth
These have keybindings of '+', '-', and 'a'. The bug they have so far is lack of visual feedback for their effect, and lack of undo. (Also the fact that adding or removing a single tag for a thread takes way too long--but that's as a Xapian issue as discussed here: replace_document should make minimal changes to database file http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/250 )
2009-10-31notmuch.el: Add final '*' to generated buffer names.Carl Worth
Just looks a little neater that way.
2009-10-31notmuch.el: Enter now calls "notmuch show" on the current threadCarl Worth
It's remarkable how little code we need for a very functional GUI here. I think we're doing something right.
2009-10-31notmuch.el: Start fleshing out notmuch-search-mode with a custom keymapCarl Worth
All we have here so far is 'n' and 'p' for going to next and previous lines respectively.
2009-10-31notmuch.el: Switch from start-process to call-processCarl Worth
We now get the point staying right at the top where we want it. We also don't get any extraneous noise about "Process notmuch completed" or anything like that. Just the output in a read-only buffer.
2009-10-30notmuch.el: Switch from compilation-start to start-processCarl Worth
Compilation mode does a bunch of things that we don't want. Instead of trying to tear it down to what we want, let's start at the other end and build up only things that we really want.
2009-10-30notmuch.el: Add notmuch-search command as well as notmuchCarl Worth
This allows for entering a query string interactively.
