Mail.app plugin that adds Gmail-style keyboard shortcuts.

GMailinator

Adds Gmail-esque keyboard shorcuts to Mail.app. This is still very much a work in progress. Tested with Mail for OS X 10.8.4.

Supported Shortcuts

Key	Action
c	Compose new message
r	Reply
a	Reply All
y, e	Archive
#	Delete
j	Go to previous message/thread
k	Go to next message/thread
/	Mailbox search
l	Move to folder (opens dialog)

How to install

1. Grab the latest build from the builds/ directory, and unzip to ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
2. Enable Mail.app plugins: defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool true

How to build

1. Load up the project in Xcode.
2. Run the build, this should automatically create ~/Library/Mail/Bundles (but you may need to create this).
3. Enable Mail.app plugins: defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles -bool true
4. Relaunch Mail.

Credits

A lot of this was built with heavy use of of the BindDeleteKeyToArchive project by Ben Lenarts. The Xcode project and interface skeleton were all from that project, and for the most part, renamed. I added the keybinding code.

A lot of the code is also either copied in whole, or modified from the Nostalgy4Mail.app project, by Hajo Nils Krabbenhöft, and subsequently by Jelmer van der Linde. I've added support for ARC (turns out there were quite a few leaks), and prettied-up (imho) the move-to-folder dialog.

gmailinator's Issues

Reply broke with the latest Yosemite beta 8

Start Mail, pressing 'e' works like it should.
Pressing 'a' of 'r' does nothing except throw this error in the console log.
I've got no clue as to figure out what happens here :)

Where is the builds/ directory?

Per readme.md, "Grab the latest build from the builds/ directory, and unzip to ~/Library/Mail/Bundles". Where can I find the builds/ directory?

Move to folder dialog not working in 10.10.2 (Mail version 8.2 (2070.6))

The (Nostalgy4Mail) move to folder dialog seems to be broken in OS X 10.10.2 (Mail version 8.2 (2070.6)). Upon typing the 'l' key, I can see the "Message" menu flash in the menubar, but no dialog box opens. Selecting the "Message > Move to Folder . . ." menu item manually results in the same (non) behavior.

Does not work with Mail.app Version 9

This plugin does not work with the latest version of Mail, Version 9. I don't know how to change it to make it work but I can share error messages if it would be helpful.

How to find out the selector to forward a message

I'm trying to add 'f' to forward a message, and capturing the key works great, unfortunately i cannot find the selector to do so. I'm not an objective-c developer but i do have a basic understanding, yet my guess about 'forwardMessages' doesn't seem to pan out. I also cannot figure out a way to find what selectors are available.

[messageViewer performSelector:@selector(forwardMessages:) withObject:nil];

12/03/14 11:22:42,863 Mail[6367]: -[MessageViewer forwardMessages:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fb350519c50

OS Mail update breaks the plug-in!

Not sure if this project is still alive, but the latest Mac OS update killed the plug-in... Would love to see if it could be updated, and would be happy to help if I can (don't have a ton to offer, but might be able to at least contribute $)!

Mail.app Version 7.2 (1874)

Thanks for awesome plugin.

Any plans for Version 7.2 (1874) ?

Doesn't work with Mail 10.

Does anyone have an updated version?

Star shortcut "s" missing

The "star" operation is missing, usually with the shortcut "s".

Mail.app doesn't have a star option though, but it seems that making it a red "flag" is the equivalent recognized by Mail.app and Gmail. So I suppose making "s" flag something as red would be the right fix here. Is this possible?

Use GitHub releases

Hey, have you thought about using GitHub releases to make it easier to see updates?

Thanks for the plugin :)

Any known workaround for Mail in Yosemite?

Im now running the public beta version.
Any workaround to reenable GMailinator in this version?

Incompatible with Mail 7.3

Support for Mail.app 8.1

Looks like the plugin is not compatible with the latest Mail.app after the Apple update:

[Noob Q] /builds directory?

I'm really sorry I'm such a noob...

I can't find the /build directory mentioned in the How to Install section?

Not working in Mail.app 8.1

Upon launching Mail.app there's a dialog saying 'Incompatible plugin disabled'.

Yosemite support

Hello there!

I would like to use this Mail plugin but it doesn't seem to work with Yosemite. Can I provide any more info?

Thanks

Code Will Not Work with Yosemite 10.10.2 / Mail.app 8.2 (But I fixed it)

There were several functions in the latest version of Yosemite 10.10.2 that were depreciated (only as of the fourth beta build), which required extensive modifications to the existing code base.

I was able to make the changes, and can avail them for anyone that is interested. Please contact me at [email protected] with the subject Gmailinator if you want the updated code.

vi!

Go to folder

Thanks for the fantastic plugin! It would be great if it supported GMail's 'gl' as well to search and open a folder. I guess that 'g' would be a fine shortcut for this, since Mail.app doesn't have built-in contacts and it's the shortcut that's also used at fastmail.fm ;).

Add compatibility with Mail 7.1

The plugin no longer works, unfortunately.

[FR] Imitating GMail's mute behavior

It would be awesome to be able to mute conversations with m. I'm not sure what Mail.app's API is like, so it might not be possible, but here's a description of how Gmail's mute works:

When you mute a conversation, new messages added to the conversation bypass your inbox so that the conversation stays archived.

Muted conversations will only pop back into your inbox ready for your attention if a new message in the conversation is addressed to you and no one else, or if you're added to the "To" or "Cc" line in a new message.

Incompatible with Mail Version 10.1 (3251) (Mac OS 10.12.1)

Plugin became incompatible again with the release of Mac OS 10.12.1, Mail Version 10.1 (3251) - I tried adding the UUID 9054AFD9-2607-489E-8E63-8B09A749BC61 to ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/GMailinator.mailbundle/Contents/Info.plist but that did not help

Doesn't work with Mail 11

Temporary fix, thanks to @jhollington and @wunc in #43:

1. Run the find_uuid.sh script in the project root in Terminal, which should output the new Mail UUID.
2. Edit the info.plist file and add a new Supported10.13PluginCompatibilityUUIDs key list.
3. Add the new UUID to the list.

Probably overkill, but my info.plist looks like this now:

<string>GMailinator</string>
<key>Supported10.12PluginCompatibilityUUIDs</key>
<array>
  <string>[old-uuid]</string>
  ...
  <string>[new-uuid]</string>
</array>
<key>Supported10.13PluginCompatibilityUUIDs</key>
<array>
  <string>[old-uuid</string>
  ...
  <string>[new-uuid]</string>
</array>
<key>SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUIDs</key>

seems to be missing "n" (next message in thread) support

if i can figure it out i'll submit a pull request, but i'm not an obj-c developer so i'm just throwing spaghetti at the wall so far.

Build Failing for Mail 12

Any ideas as to how to get this working in Mail 12? It seems the project is not able to alter any of the folders in /Library/Mail. I realize we're still in beta, but curious if this is being looked at yet. Thanks!
