Apparently Tomi "corrected" <backtab> to <backspace> in 703dec7754da477b. > To move to the previous widget I use <C-M-i> > or <S-iso-lefttab>. On the other hand, the keybinding in the code is to "C-<tab>", which explains the above. To really be <backtab>, it should be S-tab. > And why does <S-iso-lefttab> move backward but > <S-C-i> (which ought to be equivalent to <S-iso-lefttab>, no?) moves forward? You'd think they'd be equivalent, but actually they are not. You can use C-h k to test, even in a GUI/X11 emacs. > Also, it seems that <SPC> moves forward and <DEL> moves backward, but > <S-SPC> does nothing useful.

But if there's concensus that is is useful I don't mind adding it. > The introduction of help buffer for Notmuch-Show (reached by hitting > <?>) describes the <SPC> command without mentioning that it can archive > the thread; only in <SPC> specific description (which does not fit in > the same window; one has to scroll) does it mention the archiving > behavior.

I personally don't think archiving is that destructive, if someone wants to improve this wording, it is the docstring for notmuch-show-mode > Also, the description for <u> is empty (this also happens > in the help buffer for Notmuch-Hello). Yes, that's a bug as the function "notmuch-unthreaded" lacks a docstring. I think the original author of that code doesn't use emacs anymore, so someone else is welcome to contribute one. > In the same help buffer, the description of <c ?> says "Show help for a > subkeymap." Would it not be better to drop the "a", leaving "Show help > for subkeymap." ? This is the docstring for notmuch-subkeymap-help. In that context I think it's better with the "a". > Finally, the binding for <C-tab> in Notmuch-Show and Notmuch-Hello > inconveniently clobbers the tab-bar-mode binding for that key.

I'm not a very serious user of notmuch-hello mode, and I don't use tab-bar-mode at all, so I'd welcome feedback from other people about how attached they are to C-tab. _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-leave@notmuchmail.org
