goToMailbox and Focus on the first message

Reported by Sebastien Varrette | November 9th, 2015 @ 04:09 PM

Hi,

I have two issues / wishes as regards the "goToMailbox:" binding directive:

  • Using a key binding ( "goToMailbox:", "" ) put the focus on the MAILBOXES panels, which makes it impossible to combine it with some message selection. For instance, I wanted to map a key to go to a special Junk mailbox and select all messages. The following two attempts failed:
"g" = {    
  "j" = ( "goToMailbox:", "<UUID>", "selectFirstMessageRow:", "selectAll:"); /* Goto smart mailbox, Junk */
};
  • It seems impossible to pass a path to a submailbox directly. Can't that be changed? Ex:
"g" = {    
  "j" = ( "goToMailbox:", "/INBOX/Sub/Mailbox");
};

    • State changed from “new” to “resolved”

    Issue 1: You can use makeFirstResponder: with mainOutline I believe. (But I should probably not change focus, but this is more a general issue.)

    Issue 2: For goToMailbox: you must also specify the account (this restriction is documented). Try selecting the mailbox you want in the GUI and then use ⌘C to put its “UUID” on the pasteboard.

    Let me know if this doesn't help.

    ok, that makes sense ;)
    May be you shall update the documentation to reflect that trick since the probability to wish to end on the message panel rather than the mailbox one after a goToMailbox seems huge to me.

    For the other followers of this ticket, I ended with the following key binding:

    "g" = {    
      "j" = ( "goToMailbox:", "<UUID>", "makeFirstResponder:", "mainOutline", "selectAll:"); /* Goto smart mailbox, Sysadmins Junk */
    }
