The indicator now works over TRAMP
In previous versions, the counters of the notmuch-indicator-mode
would be omitted from the mode line if the refresh would happen while
the user was browsing a remote file system with TRAMP. They would be
restored once the user would switch to a local buffer. This was done
as a precaution, as I had not yet developed a mechanism to retrieve
the data relative to the local user.
Counters are now always on display and are pointing to the local
user's configuration. The package furnishes two new users options,
which make this possible: the notmuch-indicator-notmuch-config-file
and notmuch-indicator-notmuch-binary.
Their respective value is set at the time the notmuch-indicator
feature is loaded (such as with require or use-package).
Advanced users may wish to display different indicators depending on the TRAMP environment. In principle, this is done by setting the aforementioned options to the appropriate values. If anyone has such a use-case, please contact me as I am eager to make the package more flexible.
The mouse hover of counters has a better style
One of the nice features of the notmuch-indicator-mode counters on
the mode line is that they are clickable: a mouse click produces a
notmuch.el buffer with the same search terms as those that populate
the counter.
Before, the face used to indicate the mouse hover state was the
generic highlight which can differ from the mode-line-highlight
(depending on the theme). We now use the latter to make sure that the
styling is consistent.
