Abo-abo is still blogging up a storm. I haven’t commented on every post because if I did I wouldn’t have time for writing about anything else. His latest post is about a hydra for apropos. My first reaction was, βMeh, just do γCtrl+h aγ and be done with it.β But abo-abo’s post reminded me that there’s more to apropos than the single command apropos. There’s also apropos-documentaiton, apropos-variable, apropos-command, apropos-library, apropos-user-option, and apropos-value.
Most of these either have no binding or are bound to a menu so I never think about them. I realized that by having an easy-to-invoke hydra I could make better use of the apropos system. A clear win. Take a look at abo-abo’s post and see if you don’t agree.
