Want a config option to execute a series of keystrokes on startup.
Use-case is to automatically open a terminal tab running a TUI calendaring program by setting this value to "program-name"
We will support this but probably not via "keystrokes on startup".
There is work in progress to allow executing arbitrary
aerccommands via shell scripts (thinkswaymsg scratchpad show).Also, we want to replace the current
new-emailtrigger by a hooks system (a la git) that can execute shell commands. There will be a startup hook where you can tune whatever you want. I don't want to hard commit on a date but I think you can expect this for next release (0.15).
Since the functionality can and will be implemented with the aerc-startup hook, I'll mark this as a duplicate. This can be achieved with
[hooks] aerc-startup = "aerc :terminal calcurse && aerc :next-tab"It is already possible to do this using the commands as a standalone. Due to it's low complexity,
aerc-startupwill likely be among the first hooks to be implemented.
