It is part of +GNU Elpa, the Emacs Lisp Package Archive. + +Hyperbole interlinks all your working information within Emacs for +fast access and editing, not just within special modes. An hour +invested exploring Hyperbole's built-in interactive DEMO file will +save you hundreds of hours in your future work. + +7.0.3 is a significant release with a number of interesting +improvements. What's new in this release is described here: + + www.gnu.org/s/hyperbole/HY-NEWS.html + +Hyperbole is described here: + + www.gnu.org/s/hyperbole + +For use cases, see: + + www.gnu.org/s/hyperbole/HY-WHY.html + +For what users think about Hyperbole, see: + + https://www.gnu.org/s/hyperbole/hyperbole.html#user-quotes + +Hyperbole can supplement and extend Org-mode's capabilities. It adds +many features not found elsewhere in Emacs, including Org mode, see: + + www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Hyperbole + +Hyperbole includes its own easy-to-use hypertextual buttons and links +that can be created without the need for any markup language. + +Hyperbole has an interactive demo to introduce you to its features as +well as a detailed reference manual, as explained here: + + https://www.gnu.org/s/hyperbole/hyperbole.html#invocation-and-doc + +======================================================================== +* Quick Reasons to Try Hyperbole +======================================================================== + +It contains: + +- the most flexible and easy-to-use hyperbuttons available, including + implicit buttons automatically recognized by context, e.g. stack + trace source line references. + +- the only Emacs outliner with full legal item numbering, + e.g. 1.4.2.6, and automatic permanent hyperlink anchors for every + item + +- the only free-form contact manager with full-text search for Emacs + +- rapid and precise window, frame and buffer placement on screen + +- an extensive menu of typed web searches, e.g. dictionary, wikipedia + and stackoverflow, plus convenient, fast file and line finding + functions + +- immediate execution of a series of key presses just by typing them + out. For example, a M-RETURN press on: {C-x C-b C-s scratch RET + C-a} will find the first buffer menu item that contains 'scratch'; + then leave point at the beginning of its line. Build interactive + tutorials with this. + + +======================================================================== +* The Magic of Implicit Buttons and the Action Key +======================================================================== + +For near instant gratification, try Hyperbole's 'implicit button' +capabilities (hyper-buttons that Hyperbole gives you for free by +recognizing all types of references embedded within text such as +pathnames or error message lines). Below are more complex examples to +show the power; simpler ones can be found within the Hyperbole DEMO +file. + +Implicit buttons are activated by pressing the Action Key, M-RETURN. +Once Hyperbole is loaded in your Emacs, pressing M-RETURN on any of +these examples *in virtually any buffer* will display the associated +referent in a chosen window or frame, handling all variable +substitution and full path resolution: + + "find-func.el" Find this file whether gzipped or not + in the Emacs Lisp load-path + + "${hyperb:dir}/HY-NEWS" Resolve variable, show Hyperbole news + + "${PATH}/umask" Display a script somewhere in multi-dir PATH + + "${hyperb:dir}/DEMO#Hyperbole Menus" Org mode outline, Markdown, and HTML # refs + + "(hyperbole)Menus" Texinfo and Info node links + + "c:/Users", "c:\Users", "/C/Users", "/c/Users", and "/mnt/c/Users" + On Windows and Windows Subsystem for Linux, + Hyperbole recognizes all of these as the + same path and can translate between Windows + and POSIX path formats in both directions + +Git Links: + git#branches List branches in current repo/project + git#commits List and browse commits for current project + git#tags List tags in current project + + git#/hyperbole From any buffer, dired on the top + directory of the local hyperbole + project + + git#/hyperbole/55a1f0 or From any buffer, display hyperbole + git#hyperbole/55a1f0 local git commit diff + + +Github Links: + gh@rswgnu Display user's home page & projects + + github#rswgnu/hyperbole Display user's project + gh#rswgnu/helm/global_mouse Display user project's branch + gh#rswgnu/hyperbole/55a1f0 Display user project's commit diff + +Gitlab Links: + gitlab@seriyalexandrov Display user's home page + gl#gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/activity Summarize user's project activity + gl#gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/analytics Display user project's cycle_analytics + gl#gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/boards Display user project's kanban-type issue boards + +Once you set the default user and project variables, you can leave them off any reference links: + + (setq hibtypes-gitlab-default-user "gitlab-org") + (setq hibtypes-gitlab-default-project "gitlab-ce") + + gl#issues or gl#list Display default project's issue list + gl#labels Display default project's issue categories + gl#members Display default project's staff list + gl#contributors Show contributor push frequency charts + gl#merge_requests or gl#pulls Display default project's pull requests + gl#milestones Display default project's milestones status + gl#pages Display default project's web pages + gl#snippets Project snippets, diffs and text with discussion + gl#groups List all available groups of projects + gl#projects List all available projects + + gl#milestone=38 Show a specific project milestone + gl#snippet/1689487 Show a specific project snippet + +Even useful social media links: + tw#travel or twitter#travel Display twitter hashtag matches + fb#technology Display facebook hashtag matches + +Hyperbole uses simple prefix characters with paths to make them executable: + "!/bin/date" Execute as a non-windowed program within a shell + "&/opt/X11/bin/xeyes" Execute as a windowed program; + "-find-func.el" Load/execute this Emacs Lisp library + + File "/usr/lib/python3.7/ast.py", line 37, in parse + Jump to error/stack trace source + + "/ftp:anonymous@ftp.gnu.org:" Tramp remote paths + + +======================================================================== +* Try It - Installs or Uninstalls in a Minute +======================================================================== + +Hyperbole lets you concentrate more on your work.
