Okay, as you're not the first to suggest this, I just tried it. I think
it's faster for me to type 'c=in<tab>' than it is for me to contort my
ring finger onto the '1' while my pinky hits shift. I probably should
have developed a habit of using the right shift key once in a while, but
I haven't.
So, faster, maybe. Easier for me, no. Also, my method allows me to
browse my mail folder if for some reason I brainfart on how to get to my
inbox, rather than having to remember to search for spoolfile in the
mutt docs. Not so much of a problem now, but might have been when I was
first learning to use mutt.
But thanks for the suggestion.
