Toggle (or change view) for Unread/All and Starred/All messages

[cinke]

Is it possible to bind a key (or two) to changing between Unread/All and Starred/All messages?
Couldn't really figure out a way for it, browsing the command lists.

Are you asking about Quick Filter Bar?

• unset all filter values

(function () {
  var quickFilterBar = window.gTabmail.currentAbout3Pane.quickFilterBar;
  quickFilterBar.filterer.clear();
  quickFilterBar.filterer.visible = true;
  quickFilterBar.updateSearch();
})();

• set starred filter value

(function () {
  var quickFilterBar = window.gTabmail.currentAbout3Pane.quickFilterBar;
  quickFilterBar.filterer.clear();
  quickFilterBar.filterer.visible = true;
  quickFilterBar.filterer.setFilterValue('starred', true);
  quickFilterBar.updateSearch();
})();

• toggle starred filter value

(function () {
  var quickFilterBar = window.gTabmail.currentAbout3Pane.quickFilterBar;
  var starred = quickFilterBar.filterer.filterValues.starred;
  quickFilterBar.filterer.clear();
  quickFilterBar.filterer.visible = true;
  if (starred !== true) quickFilterBar.filterer.setFilterValue('starred', true);
  quickFilterBar.updateSearch();
})();

Thanks for your help.

I added: "v": "tbkeys:starredFunction" to the Main key bindings

And the implementation.js looks like this:
(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cinke/temp/refs/heads/main/Clipboard01.jpg)

But nothing happens when I press v.

I tried to remove parenthesis from line 35, but then the whole tbkey plugin doesn't work.

Any idea what goes wrong?

Are you using tbkeys or tbkeys-lite? You can run arbitrary javascript with tbkeys. You don't need to hack the addon.

Main key bindings:

{
    "v": "(function () { var quickFilterBar = window.gTabmail.currentAbout3Pane.quickFilterBar; var starred = quickFilterBar.filterer.filterValues.starred; quickFilterBar.filterer.clear(); quickFilterBar.filterer.visible = true; if (starred !== true) quickFilterBar.filterer.setFilterValue('starred', true); quickFilterBar.updateSearch(); })();"
}

Remember to remove the trailing comma after the last key so the input is a valid JSON string.

Hacking the tbkeys implementation.js file:

// Extra functions available for binding with tbkeys
var builtins = {
  closeMessageAndRefresh: function (win) {
    if (win.document.getElementById("tabmail").tabContainer.selectedIndex != 0) {
      win.CloseTabOrWindow();
    }
    win.goDoCommand("cmd_getMsgsForAuthAccounts");
    win.goDoCommand("cmd_expandAllThreads");
  },
  toggleStarredFilter: function (win) {
    var quickFilterBar = win.gTabmail.currentAbout3Pane.quickFilterBar;
    var starred = quickFilterBar.filterer.filterValues.starred;
    quickFilterBar.filterer.clear();
    quickFilterBar.filterer.visible = true;
    if (starred !== true) quickFilterBar.filterer.setFilterValue("starred", true);
    quickFilterBar.updateSearch();
  },
};

Main key bindings:

{
    "v": "tbkeys:toggleStarredFilter"
}

Hi, thanks for getting back.
Yes, I am using Tbkeys, not the lite one.
I unhacked the implementation.js, and added your line to the main key bindings, now all works like a charm!
Superb!
