things in Emacs 28 (Released 2022-04) and Emacs 29 (Released 2023-07) that i suggested to change some 10 plus years ago.
- consistent key notation of e.g. change
<C-f11>
toC-<f11>
- use intuitive key notation when binding keys. that is, always use
the syntax used by
kbd
. In emacs 29, a whole set of functions starting withkeymap-
do this.
describe-mode
not show minor modes at top- help mode show consistant key notation
- adding a link to the manual in the output of
describe-function
(in emacs 29, you can press i)
