Sometime in December, Answers OnStartups (http://answers.onstartups.com/) vanished due to not having enough activity during its Stack Exchange beta period (http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/6243/startup-busin...).

With the help of Stackdump (https://bitbucket.org/samuel.lai/stackdump/), I've hacked out a useable mirror from the provided XML data dump.

I'd recommend compiling mutt without POP3/IMAP/SMTP support for this reason. I use this approach in [mutt-kiss][1] (Arch Linux AUR package). [1]: https://github.com/tlvince/pkgbuild/tree/master/mutt-kiss

A workaround to the "symlink farm" method is making use of "--config=PATH" options for most apps and setting up aliases.

Conforming to the XDG base dir standard as much as possible makes sense but can get painful sometimes (e.g. vim: http://tlvince.com/2011/02/03/vim-respect-xdg/).

If you're looking for the "keyboard navigable completion list", this what you want:

    zstyle ':completion:*' menu select

I tried that and about a million other things in Ubuntu. When I hit tab I see options, but nothing I put in my .zshrc will allow me to use the arrow keys or anything else to navigate the completion list.

I am using oh my zsh but I tried turning it off and it didn't seem to matter.

Maybe only Mac users use zsh?

With the default oh-my-zsh config, you have to hit tab two times, for example ls<space><tab><tab>

Wow! I would have never thought of that.. lol

Thanks a lot.. works.

It's minor but sticking to conventional operators would be helpful. For example, I find myself typing "intitle:" rather than "title:" out of habit.

I just added support for the "intitle:" operator.

Hit "i" first (to enter insert mode) and go crazy!

How do you track of multiple tasks/projects with this technique? One calendar per task? A key/value mapping to replace the cross (e.g. a "G" for every day you go to the gym)? Simply merging them into one "meta" task? Or does it just not work for more than one task?

I since stumbled upon Giles Bowkett's variation whereby he uses a colour-coded horizontal line for each task. I like it. It emphasises the "chain" aspect and works well within the space constraints.
