---------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.0.3 Announcement ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bob Weiner To: emacs-devel@gnu.org, gnu-emacs-sources@gnu.org, emacs-tangents@gnu.org, hyperbole-users@gnu.org, hyperbole-announce@gnu.org Subject: GNU Hyperbole 7.0.3: link your world quickly and easily --text follows this line-- ======================================================================== * Introduction ======================================================================== GNU Hyperbole 7.0.3 is released and ready for action. Hyperbole is an amazing hypertextual information management system that installs quickly and easily as an Emacs package. 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. Then as you grow with it across time, it helps speed your work across weeks and months. It installs in about a minute and can be uninstalled even faster if ever need be. Give it a try. Hyperbole can boost your day-to-day productivity with Emacs and your ability to manage information stored across many different machines on the internet. Hyperbole can be installed like any other package with the Emacs package manager: {M-x list-packages RET C-s hyperbole RET i x y} Then to invoke its menu: {C-h h} or {M-x hyperbole RET} The best way to get a feel for many of its capabilities is to invoke the interactive DEMO and explore sections of interest: {C-h h d d} Enjoy, The Hyperbole Team ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.0.2 Announcement ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bob Weiner To: info-gnu@gnu.org, hyperbole-users@gnu.org, emacs-devel@gnu.org, gnu-emacs-sources@gnu.org, emacs-tangents@gnu.org Subject: GNU Hyperbole 7.0.1-7.0.2 is now available Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2017 --text follows this line-- This is a minor release with a number of small issues resolved and the following new features: SMART (ACTION AND ASSIST) KEYS - Keyboard Drags: Keyboard emulation of many Smart Mouse Key drag actions. See "(hyperbole)Keyboard Drags". - Keyboard Help: When {M-o} is bound to the `hkey-operate' command to emulate drag depress and release events, then when in the release window prior to pressing the second {M-o}, {C-h A} now reports the drag action associated with the current release point. See "(hyperbole)C-h A". - Ace Window: Integrated Hyperbole item drag and link creation with this package's direct window selection. Use {M-o i }. You typically can display any Dired or Buffer Menu item in any window with a single 3 keystroke command! Also added the ability to 'throw' an item to a window while leaving the selected window the same. Use {M-o t }. This works in Dired, Buffer Menu, iBuffer Menu and Treemacs modes and lets you throw multiple items to multiple windows quickly. See "(hyperbole)Keyboard Drags" for setup and use instructions. - Smart Treemacs: Smart Key and item drag support for the Treemacs package. See "(hyperbole)Smart Key - Treemacs". HYROLO - Fixed Google Contacts support to prompt for authorization only during first time use. ----- For details on what Hyperbole is and how to obtain and install it, see: https://www.gnu.org/s/hyperbole For a list of use cases, see: https://www.gnu.org/s/hyperbole/HY-WHY.html For a full list of new features in Hyperbole 7, see: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hyperbole.git/plain/HY-NEWS For what users think about Hyperbole, see: https://www.gnu.org/s/hyperbole/hyperbole.html#user-quotes Bob Weiner designed and wrote GNU Hyperbole.

New capabilities, including Git and Github object links, are summarized here: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hyperbole.git/plain/HY-NEWS A short explanation of Hyperbole is included below. For more detail or how to obtain and install it, see: https://www.gnu.org/s/hyperbole For a list of use cases, see: https://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 ---- GNU Hyperbole (pronounced Ga-new Hi-per-bo-lee), or just Hyperbole, is an amazing, programmable hypertextual information management system implemented as a GNU Emacs package and extensively documented. Hyperbole has been greatly expanded and updated for use with the latest Emacs 26 releases; it supports GNU Emacs 24.4 or above. Hyperbole can boost your day-to-day productivity with Emacs and your ability to manage information stored across many different machines on the internet. People who get used to Hyperbole often find they prefer never to use Emacs without it. Hyperbole includes its own easy-to-use hypertextual buttons and links that can be created without the need for any markup language. It also comes out-of-the-box with: - a hierarchical, record-based contact manager - a rapid window and frame control system - a powerful multi-level auto-numbered outliner - and two very smart context-dependent mouse and keyboard keys that simplify operations in many editing and browsing modes. All features are aimed at making textual information management and display fast and easy. Bob Weiner designed and programmed GNU Hyperbole. He and Mats Lidell maintain it with the Free Software Foundation. It includes 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 ---- Please give Hyperbole a try. It's free, man. It adapts to your needs. It connects everything. It rewires your brain. It speeds your web searches for `carpal tunnel syndrome'. It makes you feel like the sun is out on a gray winter day :-) But wait, there's more and this part is serious. For a limited time, to encourage use and feedback, the first 30 people who try out the Hyperbole DEMO or read the Hyperbole Manual and send a few thoughtful sentences to will receive either of their choice of the following as yet unpublished single file Emacs Lisp libraries: ;; rsw-linecol.el: User-editable mode-line col/line number formats ;; ;; GNU Emacs buries the formatting of mode-line line and column ;; numbers in a way that makes it virtually impossible for a user ;; to change this formatting. This library fixes that with a new ;; variable which may be modified to instantly alter the mode-line ;; column and line number display. or ;; rsw-chrome-macos.el: Open a URL in Google Chrome and reuse an ;; existing tab/window if already displayed. ;; ;; This library resolves the many problems of sending URLs to ;; Google Chrome on MacOS. It properly sends # hash in-file links ;; (these are typically stripped when Chrome is called as a MacOS ;; application). It reuses any tab already displaying any ;; matching URL that is sent and it does this even if the ;; ultimately displayed URL goes through several redirects before ;; display. Enjoy, Bob Weiner and Mats Lidell
