Re: Repeat last tagging
Hi, Thanks to David Bremner's patience, I've managed to produce the code needed to perform the repeat last tagging functionality I was hoping for. It is based on the following function (my very first elisp function): ``` (defun inwit/notmuch-tree-repeat-tag () "Repeat the last tagging operation" (interactive) (notmuch-tree-tag (split-string-and-unquote (car notmuch-read-tag-changes-history ``` I've then bound that function to `.`, which is convenient since I use Evil and that's the standard for "repeat the last operation": ``` (evil-define-key 'nil notmuch-tree-mode-map (kbd ".") 'inwit/notmuch-tree-repeat-tag) ``` Anyway, I share this here in case others might find it useful. And with the code I share my wonder about notmuch, emacs and floss in general. And my gratitude! :) On Wed Jul 14, 2021 at 10:41 AM CEST, inwit wrote: > Hi, > > While using notmuch in emacs (which I love, thank you so much!!)

You mean we would need to modify every call to "notmuch tag" in the code, in order to save last-tag-change in a variable which is accesible in every other scope? It's my first dive into the code, thanks for your patience.

I personally am not too interested for such a binding (It could be "dangerous" to do accidental undesired change (but I also could be wrong and like such a feature >;D) for reference I have the following bindings added to my configuration file (define-key notmuch-show-user-map "u" (lambda () "mark message unread" (interactive) (notmuch-show-tag-message "+unread"))) (define-key notmuch-show-user-map "i" (lambda () "remove inbox tag" (interactive) (notmuch-show-tag-message "-inbox"))) which means uu restores "unread" and ui removes "inbox". one can bind to notmuch-show-mode-map in order for just one keypress to do tag-change... storing last-tag-change may provide hard if there is no central place to execute "notmuch tag" command in notmuch emacs source code...

Repeat last tagging
Hi, While using notmuch in emacs (which I love, thank you so much!!) I was wondering if there's a way to repeat the last tagging operation for a different message or thread. My usecase is that, in tree-mode, sometimes I need to tag several emails from different threads, and it would come very handy if, after the first tag change, I could use a shortcut (I'd choose '.', as in vim/evil) which would apply the same tag change to other emails. Does this make sense? I know I could perform a search for all the emails that I need to tag and tag them all at the same time, but the criteria to select them is usually not obvious. Another option would be to be able to mark emails, then tag them (I've seen the emacs-region thing, but it's not the same). Thanks in advance. And cheers again for the good work!
