Unable to edit contact after adding from mutt #26

Closed rbnvrw closed 6 years ago

rbnvrw commented 6 years ago

Thank you very much for writing mates!

I was wondering how to edit a contact after adding it from mutt.

I see the edit screen, but it doesn't respond to anything - it will only let met ^C out of it. In that case the contact is saved, but I'd like to edit the name.

Could you record a video/asciinema? Sorry, I dont know what you mean

contact Excuse me for the late reply. I've attached a screenshot of the screen I'm seeing (but I masked the name and email address). I get this screen after toggling the macro from mutt: macro index,pager A \ "<pipe-message>mates add | xargs mates edit<enter>" \ "add the sender address"

I've tried pressing character keys / tab key / space key / enter key but nothing happens. I can only press ^C and then it exits and the contact is stored.

Xargs rarely works with interactive programs. I'd imagine spawning vim at the same location wouldn't end well either.

There are some wrapper scripts which fix stdin but I can't remember the name

Thanks for the reply. However, on your own integration page (README) you list this exact same command to integrate mates.rs with mutt. Can you please give a suggestion how to do it better and change it in your README?

Oh, I will have a look then.

I fixed it in the README! Turns out I forgot to push the working version to my dotfiles.

rbnvrw commented 6 years ago

Thank you, I can confirm it's working now!
