I haven’t written about abo-abo’s excellent hydra package for a while but he’s continued to make significant enhancements to it. The latest is the ability to temporarily suspend a hydra and even push it onto a stack while you invoke another.
The nifty thing about the upgrade is that you don’t have to do anything to your hydra definitions. All you need do is bind your desired key sequence to hydra-pause-resume and the functionality is enabled.
