Usage
Shortcuts
These shortcuts are based on my configuration.
To run a command (called function in the neomutt docs, but I'll call it command anyway) without using a shortcut (replace COMMAND):
txt
:exec COMMANDThe wordings used on neomutt's commands aren't very intuitive, so to ease our understanding:
- Tag = select
- Pattern = see the searching section bellow
| Shortcut | Command | Description |
|---|---|---|
T | tag-pattern | Tag (select) messages by pattern. |
Z | untag-pattern | Untag (unselect) messages by pattern. |
D | delete-pattern | Mark to delete messages by pattern. |
U | undelete-pattern | Unmark to delete messages by pattern. |
F | limit | Apply a filter (search), and show only (limit) the matched messages. |
A | tag-prefix | The next shortcut/command will be applied to all tagged (selected) messages. |
S s | save-message | Move the message to an arbitrary mailbox. Performed by copy & delete. |
x | set-flag | Set flags (i.e.: mark as new or unread) |
c | clear-flag | Clear flags (i.e.: mark as read) |
Some shortcut combos:
TAS: To archive messages (send to local storage)
