This changes all the lisp names from pick to tree (variables,
functions etc). It also changes the lisp in the emacs-pick test files
to match the new names.
Previously, when a user fully completed a tag operation, they had to
press space to begin entering another tag operation. This is
different from, say, shell file name completion, which typically
inserts a space after an unambiguous completion under the assumption
that the user will want to enter more input.
This patch tweaks `notmuch-read-tag-changes' to act more like shell
file name completion: after an unambiguous tag completion, it now
inserts a space, ready and waiting for another tagging operation from
the user. This is backwards-compatible with old habits, since there's
no harm in putting an extra space.
Authors and subjects can contain embedded, encoded control characters
like "\n" and "\t" that mess up display. Transform control characters
into spaces everywhere we display them in search and show.
We no longer use this, since we've lifted all interactive behavior to
the appropriate interactive entry points. Because of this,
`notmuch-tag' also no longer needs to return the tag changes list,
since the caller always passes it in.
Currently we support both string and list forms of tag-changes for
historical reasons. This is about to change, so fix pick's tests that
use the legacy string form of tag-changes.
`notmuch-pick-tag' takes a list of tag changes, but
`notmuch-pick-archive-message' passes it a &rest argument. This
happens to work if `notmuch-archive-tags' contains a single tag (which
it usually does), but will break if it does not.
This is similar to the previous commit, but applies to search.
Search is somewhat more complicated because its tagging operations can
also apply to a region. Hence, this lifts interactive prompting into
a helper function. This also takes advantage of the new ability to
provide a prompt to distinguish tagging a single thread from tagging a
region of threads.
This modifies all tagging operations in show to call
`notmuch-read-tag-changes' in their interactive specification to input
tag changes, rather than depending on lower-level functions to prompt
for tag changes regardless of their calling context.
Besides being more Elispy and providing a more consistent programmatic
API, this enables callers to provide two call site-specific pieces of
information: an appropriate prompt, and the set of visible tags. The
prompt lets us differentiate * from +/-. Providing visible tags
enables a more consistent user experience than retrieving the
(potentially different) tags from the database, and avoids a
round-trip to the CLI and database.
This modifies the interface of `notmuch-read-tag-changes' to take an
optional prompt string as well as a list of existing tags instead of a
query. This list of tags is used to populate the tag removal
completions and lets the caller compute these in a more
efficient/consistent manner than performing a potentially large or
complex query. This patch also updates the sole current caller of
`notmuch-read-tag-changes'.
The calling convention for `notmuch-tag' changed in commit 97aa3c06 to
take a list of tag changes instead of a &rest argument, but the call
from `notmuch-search-tag-all' still passed a &rest argument. This
happened to work for interactive calls because tag-changes would be
nil, so the `apply' call would pass only the query string to
`notmuch-tag' and simply omit the &optional tag-changes argument.
Previously, we cleaned the downloaded performance corpus and the
cached indexes on 'make clean'. This seems heavy-handed, since these
take a long time to download, unpack, and index. They also aren't
make targets to begin with. Move cleaning these to 'make distclean'.
This isn't exactly the right meaning of "distclean", but it's closer.
This ensures that the build will not attempt to use an existing notmuch.h when
an older version of notmuch is already installed elsewhere (e.g. in /usr/local)
and /usr/local/include is added to CONFIGURE_CFLAGS by one of the libraries
(talloc, in my case)
Currently notmuch-show looks at the prefix-arg directly via
current-prefix-arg. This changes it to use the interactive
specification.
One test (for elide-toggle functionality) set the prefix arg
directly. Update this test to set the new argument directly.
One test (reply to encrypted message in the crypto test) recently
started failing on some systems. The failure I saw were two extra
lines of the form
<87d2nbc5xg.fsf@host.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me>
The test pipes the output through
grep -v -e '^In-Reply-To:' -e '^References:'
which would normally these two ids but it does not, in this case,
because they are so long they get put on a separate line in the output.
To fix this we set mail-host-address for emacs deliver. example.com
seems a sensible address to use. This is short enough that we don't
get the line breaks above and the tests then all pass.
Change foreground color to `blue' like lines representing threads
with flagged messages in notmuch-search. Before tag `flagged' was
shown in notmuch-show buffers as image star on graphical frames while
there was no visible distinction to other flags on terminal frames.
This function uses Xapian's Compactor machinery to compact the notmuch
database. The compacted database is built in a temporary directory and
later moved into place while the original uncompacted database is
preserved.

This improves the function documentation for many interactive
commands, either by improving their documentation string where the
improvement also makes sense for programmatic use or by adding a
'notmuch-doc property where it doesn't.
For nearly all commands that support a prefix argument, this adds a
'notmuch-prefix-doc property to document their prefixed behavior This
omits prefix documentation for a few commands where I thought the
prefixed behavior was too obscure (or too complex to fit in one line).
Traditionally, function documentation strings are intended primarily
for programmers, rather than users. They're written from the
perspective of calling the function, not interactively invoking it.
They're only ever displayed along with the function prototype (and
often refer to argument names). And built-in help commands like
`describe-bindings' show the name of the command, not its
documentation.
The notmuch help system is like `describe-bindings', but tries to be
more user-friendly by displaying documentation strings, rather than
Elisp command names. For most commands, this is fine, but for some
the "programmer description" is inappropriate for interactive use.
This is particularly noticeable for commands that take an optional
prefix argument.
This patch adds support for two symbol properties: notmuch-doc and
notmuch-prefix-doc, which let a command override its interactive
documentation and provide separate documentation for its prefixed
invocation. If notmuch-prefix-doc is present, we add an extra line to
the help giving the prefixed key sequence along with the documentation
for the prefixed command.
Like `notmuch-mua-new-forward-message', this is meant to be invoked
programmatically by something that can provide a reasonable query
string.
In fact, `notmuch-mua-new-reply's interactive specification didn't
match its arguments, so it wouldn't have worked interactively.
`notmuch-mua-new-forward-message' must be called from a buffer
containing a raw RFC2822-formatted message to forward. Hence, it's
intended to be invoked programmatically through something else that
sets up this buffer (like `notmuch-show-forward-message'), not
interactively.
Remove its interactive specification and update the documentation
string to mention the requirements on the current buffer.
We would like to bind prefix-arg RET in search view to "pick show this
thread" (i.e. notmuch-pick-from-search-thread). It is not easy to do
this cleanly from contrib so I have been using M-RET instead.
Temporarily remove this functionality in preparation for entering
mainline and binding to prefix-arg RET.
In pick the user has the option of showing the selected message in a
subpane (the message pane) or in the full frame. This is customisable
using the variable notmuch-pick-show-out. At the moment RET is bound
to the default option and M-RET the other option. This is
messy and involves tricks to make sure the keymap is setup at the
right time.
This changes this to prefix-arg RET for the other option which
simplifies the code and makes things cleaner.
Previously this function used a temporary variable to store the return
value but we can just use the return value of the cond statement
directly.
The only tiny subtlety is that in one case (subject) we need to
slightly reorder the logic to make sure the formatted-field is the
last thing computed.
This function was used for pick entry from hello but isn't needed
anymore. It was modelled on notmuch-hello-search which is now only
used non-interactively (and notmuch-pick does now add to the
recent-search history correctly).
Pick adds some keybindings to keymaps for other modes (for entry to
pick). These quoted the keymaps which appears to be unnecessary and to
rely on the fact that these keymaps have the same entry in the
function cell as the value cell (perhaps for historical reasons?)
Remove these quotes.
Previously the box graphics in the pick view were always attached to
the subject. Make them a field in their own right. We use the
recursive insert to change the default notmuch-pick-result-format so
that the user view does not change. (The subject touches the tree box
graphics but the next column (tags) is still vertically aligned.)
Previously, the message format was fixed: each part had to be a
certain width and either left or right justified. This allows the user
to specify that two parts can be variable width but that combined they
should be some fixed width. We do this by allowing the user to set as
a "field" a list of the normal result-format form which is formatted
and then itself inserted according to the format string specified.
This means all existing formats work but allows more general things
too. This will be used in the next patch to allow the user to specify
where the tree box graphics are drawn but allow, e.g., the total width
of the tree box graphics and subject to be specified.
This moves the actual insertion of message fields up from the field
formatting function into the message insertion function. This will be
useful in the next patch as we can apply further formatting to the
insertion string before inserting.
Dating back to the earliest notmuch-pick we have not printed anything
for the tag field for a message with no tags. This is inconsistent
with search and show both of which print "()". Change pick to be
consistent.
Austin recently introduced a new global keymap. This makes pick use
this global map.
In most cases pick needs to override this global map because
it wants to close the message pane before doing the action. However,
this documents the over-rides and makes it less likely that the pick
bindings will get out of sync with the main bindings.
pick was meant to use the same mini-buffer history but this failed
because the interactive definition took place before the use search
mini-buffer history part. Remove the interactive prompt to ensure the
correct history is used.
In the recent changes for search order handling the default-value of
notmuch-search-oldest-first was used. However, default-value needs a
symbol so the symbol-name needs to be quoted.
This missing quote was causing strange sort-orders in some cases.
As explained by Jeffrey Stedfast, the author of GMime, quoted in [1]:

Some common broken RFC 2047 encodings that we currently let gmime
parse strictly. We could tell gmime to be forgiving in what it accepts
as RFC 2047 encoding, making these tests pass.
The only user-visible effect of this should be that "G" now works in
show mode (previously it was unbound for no apparent reason).
This shared keymap gives us one place to put global commands, which
both forces us to think about what commands should be global, and
ensures their bindings can't diverge (like the missing "G" in show).
This converts notmuch-help to use map-keymap for all keymap traversal.
This generally cleans up and simplifies construction of keymap
documentation, and also makes notmuch-help support anything that can
be in a keymap, including more esoteric stuff like multiple
inheritance.
This unifies the various refresh and poll-and-refresh functions we
have for different modes. Now all modes bind "=" and "G" (except
show, which doesn't bind "G" for some reason) to
`notmuch-refresh-this-buffer' and
`notmuch-poll-and-refresh-this-buffer', respectively.
Since notmuch-hello doesn't need this any more, we can remove this
hack. This also eliminates `notmuch-search-quit', so now all modes
bind "q" to `notmuch-kill-this-buffer'.
Since there is now no difference between notmuch-hello-search and
notmuch-search when called interactively, bind "s" to notmuch-search
in notmuch-hello-mode-map. Now all modes bind "s" this way.
