I am looking for a compact way to store a lot of shortcut keybindings. This is my current idea, for which I'm looking for help how to add this into my emacs config:



I would like to make F9 "my" key, that opens up a hierarchical menu of (global) keybindings.



When pressing F9, I'd like a submenu to open that shows e.g.:



o - org-mode submenu
a - show org-mode agenda
w - org-wiki submenu
b - org-brain submenu


If I press F9-a, I'd like to directly execute the M-x org-agenda command.



But by pressing F9-w, I get a new submenu opened that e.g. shows this: 



# Org-wiki submenu
i - Show Wiki index
n - Add new Wiki page


If my final keystroke sequence is F9-w-i, I want the command M-x org-wiki-index executed.



  • Does something like this exist already?

  • Is there a better solution?

  • If no, how would I add something like this in my emacs config?

/Edit: I think what I want is to write my custom version of the M-x org-agenda command.

As @icarus suggested, hydra is the way to go here. Check out my solution that is similar to what you want here: https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax/blob/master/scimax-hydra.el



there are submenus of keys that open new hydras. I have mine bound to f12, and then remapped caps lock to be f12. It is convenient for me.

Long meetings (6-7 hours a day): Being “babysat” by supervisor

It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
