Alot is a terminal interface for [notmuch mail][notmuch] written in
python using the [urwid][urwid] toolkit.
The files `INSTALL.md` and `CUSTOMIZE.md` contain instructions on how to set it
up and customize respectively.
Autogenerated API docs for the current release can be found [here][api].
Their sources live in the `docs` directory.
The current top-notch version for the courageous lives in branch 'testing'.
Do comment on the code or file issues! I'm curious what you think of it.
You can talk to me in #notmuch@Freenode.
Current features include:
-------------------------
* modular and command prompt driven interface
* tab completion and usage help for all commands
* contacts completion using customizable `abook` lookups
* user configurable keyboard maps
* spawn terminals for asynchronous editing of mails

Usage
=====
In all views, arrows, page-up/down, `j`,`k` and `Space` can be used to move the focus.
`Escape` cancels prompts and `Enter` selects. Hit `:` at any time and type in commands
to the prompt.
Usage information on any command can be listed by typing `help YOURCOMMAND` to the prompt;
The key bindings for the current mode are listed upon pressing `?`.
