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.

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
