Function to tag all as read/unread

[schvabodka-man]

Hi would be great if there would be interactive functions to tag all your feeds as unread/read

[skeeto]

Create a selection (C-SPC, C-x h, etc.), then r/u/+/- will modify every entry in the selection in one command. Use a filter (s, S) to narrow the displayed entries if necessary.

Yes, i can do that, but it would be a lot better if i can just M-x elfeed-mark-all-read

You can easily add this feature to your own configuration:

(defun my-elfeed-mark-all-read ()
  (interactive)
  (elfeed-untag elfeed-search-entries 'unread)
  (elfeed-search-update :force)) ; redraw

I don't want to add this to Elfeed because it doesn't need a unique function for every little thing someone might want to do. Far better to to have composable primitives whose cross product covers those needs — such as elfeed-search-untag-all applying to a selection.

I dont think a Mark-All-As-Read function is a random "thing someone might want to do" Mark all as read is a common option in regular feed reader clients.

Although, thanks for the workaround
