I am not sure if this make sense: there are terminal options more
suitable for mutt and other for general purpose. I am wondering which terminal
options are more suitable to work with mutt.
For example, in my case I am moving to urxvt. I would say that, for
exemple, I do not need:
* simulated reverse video
* scrolling
* transparent window background
* many perl extensions except tabbed terminals
I have ended with this command:
urxvt -g 100x44+0+0 -rv -j -ss -tr -pe
-default,tabbed,-matcher,-selection-popup,-option-popup,-searchable-scrollback,-readline
-fn '-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-15-140-75-*-c-*-iso10646-1' -e mutt -F
/home/joanet/.mutt/Comptes/joanet
I am wondering if anybody is using different settings.
Also, I start urxvt from a
script with the above options, but it would be more elegant to start
mutt directly from the working terminal instead of opening a new one,
specially if I want to use different instances of mutt in each tab
window.
Are you using special terminal definitions to work with mutt?
Where do you define those options?
Finally, I am wondering how to deal with keyboard conflicts between
terminals and mutt. For example, I have found that C-s (a macro
for spam in my mutt) conflicts with some keybindings in urxvt (not in konsole).
Therefore, some mutt configuration working in a terminal may not work in
another terminal. Is there any way of disabling terminal key bindings when
starting mutt?
Thanks very much for the attention!
Cheers!
