[neomutt-devel] Tagging (Intent)

[Richard Russon]

NeoMutt supports tagging items in a Menu so that you can perform a
function on a set of items.

  <tag> (default key 't')

The <tag> function is actually a toggle, so the result depends of the
item's original state.

I recently merged some improvements to the key handling code
which allow a repeat-count for functions, e.g. `5<next-entry>`.

If I type `5t` (`5<tag>`) what should happen?

1. Behave as if I'd typed `ttttt`
   The next 5 entries have the 'tagged' state *toggled.*

2. My intent is to <tag>, so 5 entries should be *tagged.*

3. Determine my intent from the first entry.
   If it is:
   - *tagged*,   then I intend to *untag* 5 entries
   - *untagged*, then I intend to *tag*   5 entries

What do you think?
