Would you mind pointing out where you got that information? As far as
I know there is no need to do this, but maybe there is a problem I'm
not aware of.
Sorry. I meant to reply to the list.
I'd be happy to.
Apparently, I was wrong and it was not in the manual, but in the Mutt
Guide:
https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/-/wikis/MuttGuide/Macros#how-to-use
Under 'Usage: macro menu key sequence [ description ]', right before the
first example, in the explanation of each part, there is the sentence:
"Though you can use the bound keys too, that is not
recommended!"
I never knew what that is about and I've always forgot to ask.
I thought there may be something about it, that may create a problem in
a weird edge case, that if I encounter some day might confuse the hell
out of me while trying to figure out the cause of, because I would have
forgotten it by then, so I thought it's easier to just unbind the keys
first.
I'd be more than happy if it turns out that's not needed.
