When I've started a search in Mutt with /, I can go to the next search result with n, easy.



But what if I want to go the other direction and see the previous search result, i.e., the previously matching email?



Is there a key binding for that? In Vim, this is N.

          In Mutt 1.11.4, there's no key binding for getting the previous search result, but it's easy to add one to muttrc:



          bind index N search-opposite
          # Ctrl-n toggles whether a mail is considered new or not
          bind index cn toggle-new


          Because N is by default mapped to toggle-new, I remapped that to Ctrl + n.



          Since we're at it, we can make Mutt behave a little bit more like Vim by mapping ? to start a backward search (which is by default mapped to Esc + /).



          bind index ? search-reverse
          # ? used show help, so we remap that
          bind index <F1> help
