The pushed functions (e.g., ) aren't run immediately: they are stored up and run *after* all the folder-hooks are done. They are stored up in a "stack", like a stack of plates. Each new push adds a "plate" (i.e. function), to the top of the stack. Then, after the folder-hooks have all run, the functions are executed one by one starting with the top "plate". To summarize, the *folder-hooks* are run in the order they occur in your muttrc. But if those hooks use the push command, the pushed *functions* end up being run in reverse order (because the last function pushed is on the top of the stack). This example is fine, because the "." folder-hook runs first setting the default macro. The override for "All Mail" runs second and will overwrite the first macro: # In most folders, pressing L limits to new messages folder-hook . "macro index L '~N'" # In [Gmail]/All Mail, pressing L limits to unread messages folder-hook '^\[Gmail\]\/All Mail$' "macro index L '~U'" However, in this case I have reversed the order of the folder hooks: # In [Gmail]/All Mail, show only unread messages folder-hook '^\[Gmail\]\/All Mail$' "push ~U" # By default, show all messages folder-hook . "push ~A" The push command is run immediately, but the string it pushes is run *after* all the folder-hooks finish. So in the case, you would want the default "." to be run first. Then for "All Mail" you would want the "~U" to be run afterwards. Sorry for the long post, but I hope that helps a rather confusing topic. -- Kevin J.

Paul, that's just brilliant, thank you :) folder-hooks were always somehow overlooked by me but now I see the potential :) Thanks once again! -- Alex On 12/6/18, Paul Hoffman wrote: > On Thu, Dec 06, 2018 at 05:16:09PM +0200, Alex Sa wrote: >> Is it possible to set up a macro that would behave differently >> dependent on the current folder? > > Yes, using a folder hook to bind a key (or key sequence) to different > actions based on the folder.

Yes, using a folder hook to bind a key (or key sequence) to different actions based on the folder. For example: # In most folders, pressing L limits to new messages folder-hook . "macro index L '~N'" # In [Gmail]/All Mail, pressing L limits to unread messages folder-hook '^\[Gmail\]\/All Mail$' "macro index L '~U'" Or, if you just want to limit what's shown when you enter a folder, this might work: # By default, show all messages folder-hook . "." # In [Gmail]/All Mail, show only unread messages folder-hook '^\[Gmail\]\/All Mail$' "~U" Does that help? I may have misunderstood what you're trying to do. Paul. -- Paul Hoffman
Re: Conditional macro?
Thanks, Francesco! It's a bit of re-write for all the "changing folders" macroses that I have previously set up but it seems like this trick indeed can help me :) Thanks once again! -- Alex On 12/6/18, Francesco Ariis wrote: > Hello Alex, > > On Thu, Dec 06, 2018 at 05:16:09PM +0200, Alex Sa wrote: >> Is it possible to set up a macro that would behave differently >> dependent on the current folder? > > Never tried it myself, but I recall this: > > https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/wikis/ConfigTricks > > (specifically, the "(ab)use "macros" as variables."; maybe you can > "set" the variable once you enter a folder and then use it > with your macro). > > Maybe it can be of help in your case? > -F > -- -- Alex

Never tried it myself, but I recall this: https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/wikis/ConfigTricks (specifically, the "(ab)use "macros" as variables."; maybe you can "set" the variable once you enter a folder and then use it with your macro). Maybe it can be of help in your case? -F
Conditional macro?
Hi! Is it possible to set up a macro that would behave differently dependent on the current folder? Let's say I want to to limit messages in the "[Gmail]/All Mail" folder to display only the new ones. So, if I'm not in "All Mail", that would be something like this: =[Gmail]/All Mail~U However, If I'm IN this "All Mail" folder, then, of course, I don't want to re-read all these thousands of emails again, and want to execute "~U" immediately. Is it doable? :) Thanks! -- Alex
conditional macro
I set the following macro via a folder-hook for my mailinglist folders: macro index S tag-pattern~d2w\nuntag-pattern~F\ntag-prefixsave-message\n Alte Mails nach _r It should move old messages to an archive-folder, an apropriate save-hook is set. It is working fine, if there is at least one message to move. The problem is if there is no message tag, mutt executes save-message for the currently selected message. How can I stop the macro, if there is no tagged message? Thanks Nicolas
