They probably mean ‘C-x C-Q’, which toggles a buffer with its read-only state. In this case it lets you edit the contents of the dired buffer (i.e directory or file names) to changing the buffer to wdired-mode, and then ‘C-x C-s’ to save the contents of the buffer, which changes the names and places the buffer back into read-only (dired-mode)

Wow, thank you, that’ll work perfectly! Of course bug reference mode is built-in, I had no clue (I need to stop being surprised by emacs’ built-in functionalities)

Regarding the jira link example, are you using hyperbole buttons for this, or some other way? I’d like to do it without using hyperbole, it’s a nice package and all but the ‘buttons’ are the only (of the many) feature(s) I would use from it

This sounds interesting, how are you getting python docs in the `texinfo` format? I’ve used zeal a fair amount or *.read the docs.io, but always looking for local alternatives. A quick search online didn’t have much info

Another day, another great Emacs package I’ve just learned about. This one’s going in the init.el for sure!

Are you kidding me? This is awesome! I imagine I can try it on my modded 2DS using the DSi emulator

I’ll have to see if this can work with a multi band 6 gshock, I assume it’s similar to a standard atomic clock?

Thanks for sharing the ppi hint, this helped me out a lot with not having to zoom every app on my 4k monitor!
