¶What’s the big deal about Hyperbole?
You’ve probably heard people talking about GNU Hyperbole more than once on various Emacs forums. I think we’ve even looked at it briefly on this channel a couple of times but I could never really grasp the true value of it.

Today we’re going to try and get to the bottom of what makes people love this package! Maybe we’ll learn a few things that might be useful for our workflow crafting tasks.
What we’ll investigate:
- Smart Keys
- Buttons of all different types
- Koutliner: an Org Mode alternative?
- HyControl: window management
- HyRolo: information management
