Whoever has already looked through my projects will find that there is a project Medusa that I have set up for myself. In Emacs, there are functions that I only need very rarely, and then I often don't have the necessary command in mind. It is then quite helpful to have a hydra for this situation, and the project under which I combine all these hydras is called Medusa for me. Recently, I wanted to create a hydra for Denote, and I found that there were a few problems.

Apparently, there are a lot of Emacs purists in the world who, over the years, have learned to type such complex key sequences as C-x r t M-. C-c C-p fluently. I'm not one of them. And when I tried to figure out how to customize it for myself, the web forums were full of comments saying it wasn't a good idea.

In Emacs, there are several ways to generate neat prints. Most of them end up creating PDFs. But if you just want to quickly have a printout of the buffer to work with a pencil and highlighter, that can sometimes be a problem. I spent an evening trying to solve that, and eventually succeeded. To remember it, I wrote this blog post.
