FWIW, I liked this approach too. I do use the notmuch-hello view, and also the search box. > Personally I would like to be able to customize the hello screen to > remove the search box.

Would it be a suitable compromise to bind 's' to notmuch-search (the mini-buffer search) also in notmuch-hello, while leaving the search box there with a common history? I'm not sure moving the point to search box needs a keybinding (but notmuch-hello-goto-search could still be there if the user wants to add a keybinding). BR, Jani.
