mxr modes

Generated from mxr modes --help. Edit the clap definitions in crates/daemon/src/cli/ and re-run npm run build in site/ to regenerate.

How each mode explains itself: its job, empty states, card and keys

mxr modes [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>
Subcommand Purpose
explain What a mode is for, what lands there, its first-encounter card and its keys. Every mode that has shipped when none is named
card Retire a mode’s first-encounter card in every client, as closing it does, or bring it back with –show
rail The rail: Now, the five modes and Inbox, with each one’s key and count, which are early versions, and the pages under More
why Which modes hold a conversation, and why
done Done here: the conversations leave one mode until someone writes again (in To do, their open to-dos are ticked off, or only those named with –todo). When no other mode holds a conversation it is archived at your provider too, unless modes.archive_on_last_done is off. Prints what happened and an undo id for mxr undo
help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
Flag Description
--format <FORMAT> [possible values: table, json, jsonl, csv, ids]
-h, --help Print help
