In the notmuch client, I want to tag and move messages with a single keystroke:
A = :modify-labels -inbox +Archive<Enter>move Archive<Enter>
However, modify-labels only removes the tag inbox and does not apply the tag Archive. I've tried with single quotes and it still doesn't do what it should.
I also tried with a colon before the second command:
A = :modify-labels -inbox +Archive<Enter>:move Archive<Enter>
The issue here is that most commands are executed in the background. The main thread that handles keyboard inputs simply runs the command function which often posts a message to the worker thread and returns without waiting for a result (to avoid blocking the UI). That means that
:modify-labelsis still pending/running when:moveis executed which results in undefined behavior.We would need a way to properly chain commands.
