hyperbole @ Savannah: GNU Hyperbole 9.3.2
Planet GNU ·
GNU Hyperbole 9.3.2 was released on the 27 October 2026. Hyperbole is a broad information management framework that augments your favorite Emacs libraries like Org and Consult. It can accelerate the things you do everyday with Emacs, just give it a chance. It installs in about 60 seconds. Learn about it from: Hyperbole Manual Hyperbole Articles Hyperbole Videos Hyperbole version 9.3.2 is another jump in capability with Org visibility cycling added to the Koutliner and the ability to use the double brackets of Org link format around Hyperbole implicit buttons in Org mode. Below are major updates since release 9.1.0: The Koutliner - legal-style outliner with permalinks and hidden properties See www.gnu.org/s/hyp ... le.html#Koutliner Org-style Visibility Cycling New, extensive key compatibility with Org-mode; major Org keys work similarly. {TAB} and {S-TAB} (previously {M-TAB}) keys cycle trees and entire outline visibility anywhere in a cell, by default. Use {C-c [} to toggle these keys between cycling and tree demotion/promotion, as desired. Bindings of {C-c C->} or {M-right} and {C-c C- } Keys Previously, the Koutliner bound a number of these keys for convenience. Now they are all replaced with {C-c ; } so global user set {C-c } keys are available. If you don't use such global keys, {M-1 C-c C-l} will enable the original Koutliner {C-c } key bindings while leaving the {C-c ; } keys in place as well. kotl-mode:action-key-default-function This new setting holds a function run by the Action Key in Koutline mode (kotl-mode) when no other context matches. The default setting does nothing within cells, whereas previously, it would toggle between showing and hiding the tree (this is now done with {TAB}). Set this to kotl-mode:show-or-hide-tree to restore the old Koutliner behavior. kotl-mode:assist-key-default-function This similar setting is for the Assist Key in Koutline mode when no other context matches. The default setting does nothing within cells whereas previously it would run smart-scroll-down to scroll down a screenful. Set the variable to that command if you prefer the prior behavior. Improve copy-tree Mnemonics {C-c ; b} kotl-mode:toggle-blank-lines has moved to {C-c ]}. {C-c C-c} kotl-mode:copy-before has moved to {C-c ; b} to match with {C-c ; c} kotl-mode:copy-after binding. Hyperbole Org Mode Support See www.gnu.org/s/hyp ... ey-_002d-Org-Mode Hyperbole Buttons as Org Links Hyperbole buttons wrapped in double square bracket org link delimiters when in Org mode will activate properly with the addition of a single line to your Hyperbole use-package configuration: (push #'hyperbole-activate-button org-open-link-functions) Then you get all the Hyperbole button capabilities with the highlighting and the activation of Org links via {C-c C-o}. Of course, the Action Key will activate these buttons as well. Since Emacs Lisp sybmols are Hyperbole buttons, you can make links to both function and variable definitons just by wrapping their names in Org delimiters. For example, [[find-file]] or [[hsys-org-enable-smart-keys]]. Org Heading Smart Key Settings Two new settings to control Action and Assist Key behavior when within an Org mode heading when hsys-org-enable-smart-keys is set to t (defaults are no-ops): smart-org-action-key-heading-function and smart-org-assist-key-heading-function . The new smart-org-cycle command is one option for such a setting. HyWiki - the no markup, personal Wiki note taker See www.gnu.org/s/hyp ... rbole.html#HyWiki . HyWikiWord#Headline Links to Indented Headlines HyWikiWord#Headline links now work in Wiki pages that use indentation before the * delimiters of headlines. Disable Action Key HyWikiWord Creation You can now customize which modes prevent HyWikiWord creation with the Action Key {M-RET} Add any text or programming major modes to hywiki-word-create-exclude-action-key-modes to disable this feature in these modes. You can bypass this setting by creating a HyWikiWord via the keyboard menus with {C-h h h c}. Orderless Matching in Searches When using the orderless package in searches, multiple space-separated words are matched in any order they occur, regardless of the order given to the search. HyRolo - the fast, hierarchical record retriever See www.gnu.org/s/hyp ... rbole.html#HyRolo . Yank Entire Record Trees By default, {C-h h r y} hyrolo-yank yanks at point the entry matched without any of its sub-entries. Use {C-u C-h h r y} to yank in the entire tree. Orderless Matching in Searches When using the orderless package in searches, multiple space-separated words are matched in any order they occur, regardless of the order given to the search. Documentation "FAST-DEMO" {C-h h d d} now includes links to articles about Hyperbole, including two new articles and videos: HyRolo: Records are Trees, Not Lines - https://youtu ... e/5Oo_KqVcLFM Implicit Buttons: Build Your Hyperverse - https://youtu ... e/o2KMvSCXwlU Installation See www.gnu.org/s/hyp ... bole.html#Install . New Install Documentation Installation sections in the Hyperbole Manual and README.md have been extensively rewritten. Installation now utilizes use-package with a fully documented reference man/use-package configuration file you can easily customize. The file, "INSTALL", has been deleted. Key Use-Package Settings Some key configuration settings in the "man/use-package" file: iimage-mode setting that permanently enables inline image display in Koutline buffers. hyrolo-file-list setting that shows all of the note taking systems that can be quickly full-text searched with HyRolo with no indexing. The new hywiki-word-create-exclude-action-key-modes list lets you exclude certain major-modes from having the Action Key create new HyWiki words when pressed on any capitalized word. A one line setting of org-open-link-functions enables highlighting Hyperbole buttons as Org links when wrapped in double square brackets. Now you can make all your Hyperbole buttons operate like Org links if desired. Further Details See HY-NEWS for detailed changes in the Version 9 Hyperbole series.
