Today I learnt that Emacs 28 shipped a context-menu-mode! https://oylenshpeegul.gitlab.io/blog/posts/20230129/ This seems quintessentially Emacs: deeply hackable, but building UI features in an order very different to the mainstream.
Context menus in Emacs 28!
Today I learned that Emacs 28 added context-menu-mode so that we can easily add context menus. This is a minor mode which you can toggle with M-x context-menu-mode RET but I added hooks to enable it for text mode and a couple others (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'context-menu-mode) (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'context-menu-mode) (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'context-menu-mode) I did not hook prog mode because some of the fancier lsp things already use mouse-3.

Changing a project's hosting to GitLab is a major undertaking. When KDE and GHC migrated, they had a tracking issue to list all the painpoints they had! https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/53206 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/55039 A great way to collaborate and for the GL maintainers to see what users need.
