Hi Gary --

The beauty of MailMate and what attracted me to it is the extensibility and customizability. But all that comes at a price as there are few GUIs that are available for advanced options such as key bindings to commands, and notably, multi-command bindings to keys. For multi-commands on any other email client, you'd have to write a script for it.

Please look at the following pages, it'll get you started.

* https://manual.mailmate-app.com/custom_key_bindings

* https://manual.mailmate-app.com/key_binding_selectors

That's how I did it. And then prepare to spend a lot of time amazed at the power of this system.

All the best,
-Mike

To change the flag colors you have to use the fussy Shift-F, release, press number process. Is there any way to change them so that a quicker and easier keyboard shortcut could be used, such as a function key, or at least a non-shifted lowercase f?

It's cool, that you can easily switch on a flag by hitting `Shift-F` 0-9, so there needs to be some kind of support for searching it somewhere - I just did not find it yet.

Flags are implemented using IMAP keyword “bits”. A clever solution by Apple, but MailMate currently doesn't have an easy way to do colored flag searches. You can only do it by searching for the corresponding set of bits. Here are the F keybindings:

        "F" = {
"0" = ( "removeTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" ); "1" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" ); "2" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" ); "3" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" ); "4" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" ); "5" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" ); "6" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" ); "7" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit0", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit2" );
    };

Implicitly, they also tell you what to search for, e.g., F2, means that `$MailFlagBit0` is enabled and `$MailFlagBit1`/`$MailFlagBit2` are disabled.

I hope that helps.
