Hi Richard:
Thanks for your idea. We have implemented it and pushed it to the latest
Hyperbole git commit tip for you to try out if you want to experiment with
the latest unreleased version. This should be released as version 8 in
about a week if you prefer to wait.
To try it now, install Hyperbole by executing this code snippet:
;; Install straight, use-package and Hyperbole
(progn
(defvar bootstrap-version)
(setq package-enable-at-startup nil)
(let ((bootstrap-file
(expand-file-name "straight/repos/straight.el/bootstrap.el"
user-emacs-directory))
(bootstrap-version 5))
(unless (file-exists-p bootstrap-file)
(with-current-buffer
(url-retrieve-synchronously
"
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raxod502/straight.el/develop/install.el";
'silent 'inhibit-cookies)
(goto-char (point-max))
(eval-print-last-sexp)))
(load bootstrap-file nil 'nomessage))
(straight-use-package 'use-package)
(use-package hyperbole
:straight t
:config
(hyperbole-mode 1)
:bind* ("<M-return>" . hkey-either))) ;; To enable Hyperbole Smart Keys
in org-mode
Cheers,
Bob
