Tabbing through fields in wanderlust
I sometimes automatically press TAB, expecting to move from the To: field to the right place on the next line (the subject: field) to start typing. Or from there a few lines down to where my e-mail should start. The problem is, I have TAB bound to yas/expand, which falls back to the function wl-draft-mode usually has bound to tab for other completion and possibly even inserting a tab. I think I've written the least intrusive bit of code to sit between these two and do what I want when TAB is pressed on the field lines.
(add-hook 'wl-draft-mode-hook '(lambda () ;; Key bindings (yas/minor-mode) (setq yas/fallback-behavior '(apply jks-draft-magic-tab)) )) ;This function came from: http://snarfed.org/emacs_lisp_for_flowed_text_email (defun starts-with (string prefix) (and (>= (length string) (length prefix)) (equal prefix (substring string 0 (length prefix))))) (defun jks-draft-magic-tab (&optional start-pos) "Try do something sensible in wl-draft-mode under various circumstances when tab is pressed" (interactive) (let* ((orig (thing-at-point 'line)) (typed (downcase orig))) (cond ((or (starts-with typed "to:") (starts-with typed "cc:") (starts-with typed "bcc:")) (search-forward "ect: ")) ((starts-with typed "subject:") (search-forward "--text follows this line--\n")) (t (wl-complete-field-body-or-tab)))) )

Nice post which The problem is, I have TAB bound to yas/expand, which falls back to the function wl-draft-mode usually has bound to tab for other completion and possibly even inserting a tab. I think I've written the least intrusive bit of code to sit between these two and do what I want when TAB is pressed on the field lines. Thanks a lot for posting.
