Thanks Eduardo for your thoughts on how to be more explicit in describing desired behavior.
Xavier, we do ho to great lengths in Hyperbole to build upon rather than simply replacing built-in Emacs libraries and packages. Org mode is one of these. In a few cases, we allow for but do not require usage of some important external libraries like consult. So the answer depends on what you want to do. Sometimes Hyperbole simply improves upon the existing behavior of an optional package like bbdb, as we can’t rewrite everything. -- rsw > On Feb 28, 2025, at 6:36 AM, Eduardo Ochs <eduardoo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Fri, 28 Feb 2025 at 03:31, Xavier Maillard <x...@maillard.im> wrote: >> (...) > > > Hi Xavier, > > here is a suggestion.
