Dear org-moders,
I want to open-link-at-point (C-c C-o) in other window. With
file links this is standard behaviour (at least with my
configuration). But I don’t know how to do so with notmuch:
links. Universal argument won’t help.
Any ideas?
I think there should be key bindings for opening in same window,
other window, other frames regardless of the type of link opened.
Is this doable?
How about:
| open in same window | C-c C o |
| open in other window | C-c 4 C-c C o |
| open in other frame | C-c 5 C-c C o |
?
Ciao, Gregor

I usually use my mouse and right click on the link.
C-c C-o opens things in a new application. E.g a picture is opened in my image editing application.
Right clicking opens in the right window. C-u C-c C-o also opens images in the right side window.
In emacs, Window and Frame mean something different. By window, are you specifically referring to a new plane, split screen style, on the right hand side?
As a note, http://emacs.stackexchange.com/ is often a good place for questions that have a specific, usually straight forward answer.
Thank you
Leo

For the key combos this is not the case with notmuch: -links. I
don’t knoiw why.

Take a look at the following variables:
org-link-frame-setup
org-file-apps
They might get you started in the right direction

org-notmuch-follow-link calls notmuch-show, which uses switch-to-buffer.
You can set org-notmuch-open-function to a function that behaves the way
you want. There are probably cleaner ways to handle this, but below
seems to work.
#+begin_src elisp
(setq org-notmuch-open-function 'org-notmuch-follow-link-other-window)
(defun org-notmuch-follow-link-other-window (search)
"Like `org-notmuch-follow-link', but use other window."
(pop-to-buffer (save-window-excursion
(notmuch-show (org-link-unescape search)))))
#+end_src

I think this (writing your own defun) is the cleanest way to handle
this. There is no way for Org to ensure a consistent behaviour for all
possible link types, there are too many. Org can ensure consistency
only for physical files, and even then when they are opened inside
Emacs. There is no shortage of links to binary files!
For what it's worth, I have customised notmuch open function to use the
notmuch-tree interface.

Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Yes, I agree. It wasn't clear in my original message, but by "cleaner
ways", I was referring to the implementation of
org-notmuch-follow-link-other-window. I don't know if there's a better
way to override switch-to-buffer.
