From 656709b5ed0ed216dd71e7376ac99e3b66f8ebd3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carl Worth Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2009 17:18:51 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] TODO: Add some tasks, delete some tasks. A new item from IRC discussion, (speeding up "notmuch restore"), as well as a bug I just hit myself, (content from citations is not being indexed). While here, notce that several items have recently been completed ('?' now displays documentation, not function names; we have a search binding from notmush-show-mode; and "notmuch new" responds to SIGINT by flushing). Finally, the item regarding optimizing chunky searching is irrelevant since we dropped chunky searching in favor of the much better streamed searching. --- TODO | 22 +++++++--------------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/TODO b/TODO index 578d833c..68ea2666 100644 --- a/TODO +++ b/TODO @@ -8,9 +8,6 @@ Fix the things that are causing the most pain to new users Emacs interface (notmuch.el) ---------------------------- -Make the keybindings help ('?') display the summary of each command's -documentation, not the function name. - Add a global keybinding table for notmuch, and then view-specific tables that add to it. @@ -18,8 +15,6 @@ Add a command to archive all threads in a search view.
