If we don't have emacs, disable targets that used EMACS while doing
the recipes of that target.
If we do have emacs, make install-emacs depend on *.elc files,
as making the target will attempt to install those.
Previously notmuch-tree-get-message-id always returned the id
including the prefix "id:". Modify the function to take an optional
`bare' argument saying to return the raw string.
This will be useful later and brings the function in line with
notmuch-show-get-message-id.
In emacs 24.3+ the stdout/stderr from externally displaying an
attachment gets inserted into the show buffer. This is caused by
changes in mm-display-external in mm-decode.el.
Ideally, we would put this output in the notmuch errors buffer but the
handler is called asynchronously so we don't know when the output will
appear. Thus if we put it straight into the errors buffer it could get
interleaved with other errors. Also we can't easily tell when we
have got all the error output so can't wait until the process is complete.
One solution would be to create a new buffer for the stderr of each
attachment viewed. Again, since we can't tell when the process has
finished, we can't close these buffers automatically so this will
leave lots of buffers around.
Thus we add a debug variable notmuch-show-attachment-debug: it this is
non-nil we create a new buffer for each viewer; if this variable is
nil we just use a temp buffer which means all error output is
discarded (this is the same behaviour as with emacs pre 24.3).
In current emacs (24.3) select-active-regions is set to t by
default. The reply insertion code sets the region to the quoted
message to make it easy to delete (kill-region or C-w). These two
things combine to put the quoted message in the primary selection.
This is not what the user wanted and is a privacy risk (accidental
pasting of the quoted message). We can avoid some of the problems
by let-binding select-active-regions to nil. This fixes if the
primary selection was previously in a non-emacs window but not if
it was in an emacs window. To avoid the problem in the latter case
we deactivate mark.
One key test (which fails under many simpler "fixes") is: open emacs
24.3 with notmuch, open 2 windows (viewing different notmuch buffers),
highlight some text in one, and then reply to a message in the
other. In many of my earlier attempts to fix this big this test fails.
Following a suggestion by Austin in id:20130915153642.GY1426@mit.edu
we use remap for the over-riding bindings in pick. This means that if
the user modifies the global keymap these modifications will happen in
the tree-view versions of them too.
[tree-view overrides these to do things like close the message pane
before doing the action, so the functionality is very close to the
original common keymap function.]
remaps are a rather unusual keymap consisting of "first key" 'remap
and then "second-key" the remapped-function. Thus we do the
documentation for it separately.
To support key remapping in emacs help we need to know the base keymap
when looking at the remapping. keep track of this while we recurse
down the sub-keymaps in help.
The actual documentation function notmuch-describe-keymap was getting
rather complicated so split out the code for a single key into its own
function notmuch-describe-key.
If the user (or a mode) overrides a keybinding from the common keymap
in one of the modes then both help lines appear in the help screen
even though only one of them is applicable.
Fix this by checking if we already have that key binding. We do this
by constructing an list of (key . docstring) pairs so it is easy to
check if we have already had that binding. Then the actual print help
routine changes these pairs into strings "key \t docstring"
The routines that construct the help page in notmuch-lib rely on
match-data being preserved across some fairly complicated code. This
is currently valid but will not be when this series is finished. Thus
place everything between the string-match and replace-match inside a
save-match-data.
A standard way to unset a key binding is local-unset-key which is equivalent to
(define-key (current-local-map) key nil)
Currently notmuch-help gives an error and fails if a user has done this.
To fix this we only add a help line if the binding is non-nil.
The functions referred to in the documentation for this variable were
replaced by the unified `notmuch-poll-and-refresh-this-buffer' in
21474f0e. Update the documentation to reflect the new function.
This fixes races in thread-local and global tagging in notmuch-search
(e.g., "+", "-", "a", "*", etc.). Previously, these would modify tags
of new messages that arrived after the search. Now they only operate
on the messages that were in the threads when the search was
performed. This prevents surprises like archiving messages that
arrived in a thread after the search results were shown.
This eliminates `notmuch-search-find-thread-id-region(-search)'
because these functions strongly encouraged racy usage.
This fixes the two broken tests added by the previous patch.
(Unfortunately, it's difficult to first demonstrate this problem with
a known-broken test because modern Linux kernels have argument length
limits in the megabytes, which makes Emacs really slow!)
This adds support for passing a string to write to notmuch's stdin to
`notmuch-call-notmuch-process' and `notmuch-call-notmuch-sexp'. Since
this makes both interfaces a little more complicated, it also unifies
their documentation better.
Previously, this was in notmuch.el, but all of the other notmuch call
wrappers were in notmuch-lib.el. Move `notmuch-call-notmuch-process'
to live with its friends. This happens to fix a missing dependency
from notmuch-tag.el, which required notmuch-lib, but not notmuch.
We want to load notmuch-tree when notmuch is loaded, so include it as
a require in notmuch.el. To avoid circular dependency we need to move
one keybinding from notmuch-tree.el to notmuch.el: it makes sense for
it to be defined there anyway.
Since tree is now loaded by default there is no need to print a
message when it is loaded.
notmuch-help is in notmuch.el not notmuch-lib.el and this is
incovenient for the way pick/tree uses it. I think lib makes more
sense anyway so move it there.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Previously, we refreshed hello when the user quit a search that was
started from hello. This is fine assuming purely stack-oriented
buffer use, but is quite fragile and requires hacks to search.
This replaces that logic with a new approach that refreshes hello
whenever the user switches to the hello buffer, regardless of how this
happens.
Previously, if `notmuch-search' was called interactively (bound to "s"
in search and show, but not hello), it would always use newest-first.
However, `notmuch-hello-search' (bound to "s" in hello) and
`notmuch-hello-widget-search` would call it with the user-configured
sort order. This inconsistency seems unintentional, so change
`notmuch-search' to use the user-configured sort order when called
interactively.
When text/html parts include images as multipart/related and the
text/plain alternative is used these images can be completely hidden
with no easy way to access them or even find out that they are there.
Make notmuch-show-insert-part-multipart/related add buttons for all
parts, the first one visible the rest hidden.
