Bind and Macro problem
OS: Xubuntu 15.10 mutt: 1.5.23 I have been running mutt on a Solaris system for years. I am now transitioning to a Ubuntu machine. I am using the same Sun Type 6 keyboard on moth machines, however, on the new system these are some escape sequences issued by keys that include a semicolon which did not occur on the Sun system. Here is an example: Keypad 5 Key:^[[20;2~ In the .muttrc file, these sequences cannot be unquoted so I have entries like: bind generic "[20;2~"select-entry bind attach"[20;2~"view-attach However, none of the bindings or macros that have ";" in them are defined when mutt runs. I have tried various alternatives in the .muttrc file such as: [20\;2~ and "^[[20;2~" but nothing works. Furthermore, when I am in mutt and hit "?", the bindings escape sequences are properly shown in the list! I'm running mutt in an xfce4-terminal but I get the same results when I use an xterm. What is the trick for getting these escape sequences recognized? Regards, -- Jeff Small

But you also don't want all those spaces in the middle of your macro (mutt doesn't know you want it to ignore them): macro attach b ":unset wait_key\n|cat >/tmp/tmp.html;\ opera --remote 'openURL(/tmp/tmp.html,new-page)' &\n\ :set wait_key\n" "Pipe to Browser" While you're at it, you probably want to stop using keys and start using function names directly.

Macro problem: unset wait_key; !do_script; set wait_key
Hello, This macro is working: macro index f ":unset wait_key\n;!~/myScript\n;:set wait_key\n" \ "menu for fetching mail" this one works also, but it is not setting the wait_key at the end of the macro. macro attach b ":unset wait_key\n|cat >/tmp/tmp.html; \ opera --remote 'openURL(/tmp/tmp.html,new-page)' &\n; \ :set wait_key\n" "Pipe to Browser" I'm working with: Mutt 1.5.17+20080114 (2008-01-14) on a debian sid Thank you, Adriana

Then, if I use \cf for the third one it is working and it output correctly source /home/michelle.konzack/.mutt/tdmuttmailboxes_... (I have splited my "mailboxes" since over imap it is impossibel to whatch 2300 at once) Now there is a problem, since if I call ^M it ADD new mailboxes to the list which is non-desirable. So I have tried: macro index \cf ':unmailboxes *:`tdmuttmailboxes`'"\n" but it seems not to work. Where is the missing point?

"better" isn't good enough if it's still not correct. xterm-color is a generic entry, targeted at people who either don't know what their terminal can do, or don't care much. I wrote a putty terminfo some months ago (ncurses 2007, prompted by an earlier thread). There are about 2 dozen differences between that and "xterm-color". ymmv. -- T.E.Dickey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net

macro problem
hi mutt-users, how can I change the color of a mail for example to brightyellow/red if the message contains "Priority: Urgent" in the header ? this would be very fine :) it should be done automaticly when opening the mailbox. but this is only good if i could change this "flag" or delete this annoying color. I need this mail only marked with these colors if the mail is undone work and urgent. another problem I have is to bind a macro for the compose menu. I want to add with "u" the "Priority: Urgent" field to the header. how ? macro compose "u" "my_hdr Priority: Urgent" doesn´t helped me.. thanks, Marco -- adconsys AG, Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 19, 04107 Leipzig Tel.: 0341-98 474 0 / Fax: 0341-98 474 59 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: www.adconsys.de Key Fingerprint: AE02 AA7E CFD1 0A4C 497D 8526 E495 102B A624 3C99

That's it, you're right! :-)
I think this is a bug, shouldn't :-
macro generic \e1 "c{mailandnews.co.uk}"
do the same as :-
macro index \e1 "c{mailandnews.co.uk}"
Thanks for the help anyway, now I can stop typing {mailandnews.co.uk}
out in full every time! :-)

I don't know much about the macro facilities, but I think the problem
is you used the "generic" map. You might want to try binding your key
explicitly to the "index" and/or "pager" maps. ie try something like:
macro index \e1 c{mailandnews.co.uk}
and see what you get. Note there is no , so you are given an
opportunity to type out the rest of the path.

macro problem - have I misunderstood something?
I am trying to set up a simple macro to allow me to execute a change-folder command with a single keystroke but I can't get it to work at all. If I put:- macro generic \e1 ":color status blue yellow\r" I get exactly what I expect, when I hit 1 the status bar colours change. However, if I put:- macro generic \e1 "c" I just get the error message "Key is not bound. Press '?' for help.", hitting 'c' of course just does what I expect. The help screens show the macro defined as I would expect. Is it not possible to send any/all keys with a macro, does it only work for : commands? -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/
