Re: ';' tag-prefix function dead in pager mode

* Patrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2002-08-29 08:24:21 -0500]:
 I am unable while in pager mode to use the tag-prefix (;) operator to
 perform operations on tag-selected e-mails.  Requires changing to the
 'index' menu for use.
 
 I find no indication of this in the manual or 'man muttrc', other than
 the description of 'auto_tag' which indicates the 'index menu' mode is
 necessary.  
 
 Is there a way to make this function usable in pager mode, or do I have
 a local problem?

  Wouldn't something like:

bind pager ; tag-prefix

  ...do the trick?  (Note I said something _like_, I'm not sure if
that's a drop-in. :p)

no.  this command is *not* available in the
pager menu, so you cannot bind it at all.
use the help command to verify this.
it's easy.  hint hint ;-)

 Yeah, so what? Comeon is that such a hard thing to do?

Perhaps not, but it is annoying -- since a lot of people use
'pager_index_lines', it does seem like it would be nice if mutt would
at least allow you to bind certain functions (limit / tag-prefix, etc)
in the pager, even if they're not bound by default.
