Minor updates.

• Changes
  • In the summary buffer, "f contents RET" now performs pure filtering (it simply retains only the matched entries). The previous behavior (filter and list matching lines) is available via "G" or "f grep RET". Similarly, "f Keyword-in-contents RET" has changed; the previous behavior is now available via "f Grep-keyword RET". Also, "F" and "K" now serve as shortcuts for these pure filtering commands. thx
    • If you really want to restore the previous behavior, add the following after loading howm:

      ;; Restore the behavior of "f contents RET" etc. in the list view
      ;; to how it was in howm-1.5.4 or earlier
      (setf (alist-get "contents" howm-view-filter-methods nil nil #'equal)
        ;; Use the old name intentionally for safety in older versions
        'howm-view-filter-by-contents)
      (setf (alist-get "Keyword-in-contents" howm-view-filter-methods nil nil #'equal)
        'howm-view-filter-by-keyword-in-contents)
      (define-key howm-view-summary-mode-map "K" 'howm-keyword-to-kill-ring)
      (define-key howm-view-contents-mode-map "K" 'howm-keyword-to-kill-ring)

• Improvements
  • List view can now open in a new frame or tab, and pressing "q" closes it (Run "M-x customize-group RET howm-list-bufwin RET", then set "howm-view-window-location" and "howm-view-close-frame/tab-on-exit") thx
  • Remove mistakenly registered come-from keywords using "M-x howm-keyword-remove" thx
  • Extended quick-shift functionality for dates (RET on a date → "[" and "]" keys)
    • "." key jumps to today's date
    • Also supported in the menu
  • The theme functionality (cf. howm-follow-theme) is now customizable via howm-auto-theme-custom-entries thx
  • (Removed "cheats" from cheat-font-lock.el)
• Fixes
  • Org-related issues thx thx thx thx thx thx
  • Fonts could be too large in the summary buffer if howm-follow-theme was enabled thx
  • Notes without titles now appear in %recent and %random in the menu thx
  • howm-dup now respects howm-prepend settings thx
  • Prevented potential infinite loop in howm-view-dired-goto thx
  • (Fixed warning "Missing lexical-binding cookie" during "make test")

This is a preview of the planned breaking changes. If you have any feedback on them, please leave a comment in #79 soon. Otherwise, we plan to promote this to 1.5.5.
