Support searching for emails

[lyz-code]

Himalaya does support email searching, it would be super nice to be able to do it within the vim plugin

[soywod]

Yes indeed, it has been done for the Emacs plugin so it could definitely be done for Vim as well.

not sure if this is the topic, but I have been able to search with this keymap in lazyvim

      { "<leader>m/", "<plug>(himalaya-set-list-envelopes-query)", desc = "Query" },

Thank you so much @parisni I don't know how I missed that, it's even in the docs (╥﹏╥)

For those of you that are reading and need some guidance on how to do queries, you can see it in himalaya envelope list --help. It contains the next content:

Searching emails

You can use the g/ binding from within nvim to search for emails. The query syntax supports filtering and sorting query.

Filters

A filter query is composed of operators and conditions. There is 3 operators and 8 conditions:

• not <condition>: filter envelopes that do not match the condition
• <condition> and <condition>: filter envelopes that match both conditions
• <condition> or <condition>: filter envelopes that match one of the conditions
• ate <yyyy-mm-dd>: filter envelopes that match the given date
• before <yyyy-mm-dd>: filter envelopes with date strictly before the given one
• after <yyyy-mm-dd>: filter envelopes with date stricly after the given one
• from <pattern>: filter envelopes with senders matching the given pattern
• o <pattern>: filter envelopes with recipients matching the given pattern
• subject <pattern>: filter envelopes with subject matching the given pattern
• body <pattern>: filter envelopes with text bodies matching the given pattern
• flag <flag>: filter envelopes matching the given flag

Sorting

A sort query starts by "order by", and is composed of kinds and orders. There is 4 kinds and 2 orders:

• date [order]: sort envelopes by date
• from [order]: sort envelopes by sender
• to [order]: sort envelopes by recipient
• subject [order]: sort envelopes by subject
• <kind> asc: sort envelopes by the given kind in ascending order
• <kind> desc: sort envelopes by the given kind in descending order

Examples

subject foo and body bar: filter envelopes containing "foo" in their subject and "bar" in their text bodies
order by date desc subject: sort envelopes by descending date (most recent first), then by ascending subject
subject foo and body bar order by date desc subject: combination of the 2 previous examples

If you write a wrong query the plugin so far will crash

You are welcome. After all most of my config comes from your blue book ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Lol @parisni I did not see that one coming. I'm glad you're using it!
