neomutt VS neovim

https://github.com/neomutt/neomutt is a mature project with similar functionality in its arsenal via tagging and vim bindings, not limited to gmail either. You can also write emails in vim/$EDITOR fluidly.

I checked out the neomut repo and notmuch repo and unpacked ncurses 6.4

git clone https://github.com/neomutt/neomutt ./configure --notmuch --with-notmuch=/usr/local/lib/notmuch And because it gives me the error: Checking for DocBook DTDs... Error: couldn't execute "xmlcatalog": no such file or directory ... I just disable it, because I don't need a book:

I think it's always worth mentioning neomutt[1] when mutt comes up these days. Development is fairly active [2] and a lot of patches that people have been working on over the years have been merged, like the various header compression techniques, sidebar, search and unified inbox with notmuch etc.

I'd also like to do a similar thing with neomutt, which will definitely have to be built from source.

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.
