Hello there!
I find the behaviour of
:move
and similar commands (such as:delete
) to be inconsistent, as they behave differently depending on whether things are selected or not.#My case:
I am using a workflow to delete emails where I mark them first and then use a key binding to send them to the Trash folder (
:move Trash
). If I mark some emails, those marked will be moved but not the selected one (unless marked); if not, the currently selected one will be.I find this to be inconsistent: when an action is performed on a selected email, the outcome should not depend on what actions were performed on other emails.
#Generic example:
Say you have emails A, B and C.
Mark A, highlight B
* A -- B -- C
Type
:delete
, A (marked) gets deleted, B (selected) doesn't.Now you mark nothing and highlight C:
B -- C --
Type
:delete
. C (selected) gets deleted.In two different scenarios, running a command while an email is selected has two different behaviours on what was selected.
This behaviour depends not on the currently selected email but on others.
#In other words
Does selecting a message implicitly "mark" it?
If yes: the selected message should get acted on, regardless of whether other messages were marked.
If not: the selected message should not get acted on, regardless of whether other messages were marked.
#Solution
In order not to break existing workflows, would it be possible for commands to have flags such as
-s/-m/-b/-f
where they act on "selected", "marked", "both" or "flexible" (current behaviour) respectively?Thanks!
