[feature request] configurable address book: khard #88

Closed jgarte closed 3 years ago

jgarte commented 3 years ago

Hi is there currently a way to set khard as my address book?

I'm thinking of something like this: https://github.com/ninewise/dotfiles/blob/09cfde6d20e12e5dd67fe2a3a35ec81260d5d088/config/alot/config#L30

No, the address book functionality is not configurable (yet?)

On another topic, I started maintaining the bower in nixpkgs.

I recently upgraded bower to 0.13 in nixpkgs.

I'm planning to package bower soon for GNU Guix System.

I'll let you know once it's been accepted in upstream.

@wangp Have you tried running/testing bower on a 32bit machine yet?

wangp commented 3 years ago

Cool.

Yes, I run bower on a Raspberry Pi 3B (in 32-bit mode), and previously on a SheevaPlug.

I just re-read this and learned how to use notmuch address.

nm about khard ;)

Unless someone else wants that functionality feel free to reopen #88...

I think this would be great to have, even if it's just complementing notmuch-address and the simple addressbook thing that bower does. I often find that notmuch address returns a bunch of useless results from github/gitlab notification mails, or somethings it fails to work at all (but even if this wasn't a problem, there's still the original problem of lots of noise in the results...) Anyways, there are things, like khard, abook, etc that could be used instead.

Having an option to specify some arbitrary external command to run for address completion would be really great!
