Questions tagged [hydra]

for questions related to the use of the `hydra.el` package providing short keybindings for sequences of related commands

The hydra.el package is available from https://github.com/abo-abo/hydra . It provides mechanisms for setting up keybindings so that for example one can type C-c jjkk3j5k instead of C-c j C-c j C-c k C-c k M-3 C-c j M-5 C-c k. Use this tag for questions about usage and customization of such hydras.
