Thanks for the response, Tassilo. I should have explained that the command I used above did work in so far as it did make the new key available in the correct mode (notmuch-search-mode), as I could tell through the notmuch-help in the notmuch-search-mode. The command I used above has worked for me in other contexts, as I've found documented in a couple of different place on the net. I'm completely an elisp n00b, though, and I can't claim to understand why it worked. > Anyway, this should do the trick: > > (define-key notmuch-search-mode-map "A" > 'notmuch-show-mark-read-then-archive-thread) As far as I can tell, this command works the same as the one I used above. It produces identical results. I realize now that the problem is that the notmuch-show-mark-read-then-archive-thread function is meant for notmuch-show-mode (as should have been clear to me via the name) and not for notmuch-search-mode. I manually created a new function for the appropriate mode, and that worked. Below is the code that I used that worked. Thanks for the help, and sorry for the spam. jamie. (defun notmuch-search-mark-read-then-archive-thread () "Mark thread as read (remove \"unread\" tag) and then archive (remove \"inbox\" tag). This function advances to the next thread when finished." (interactive) (notmuch-search-remove-tag "inbox") (notmuch-search-remove-tag "unread") (forward-line)) (define-key notmuch-search-mode-map "A" 'notmuch-search-mark-read-then-archive-thread) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
