Designing UIs is such a hard problem. Sometimes I try a bunch of options and I settle on "this one seems the least annoying".

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.

I'm increasingly doubtful that commit messages should be entirely immutable. I sometimes find myself editing or commenting on merged pull requests, to help future readers. Phabricator appended a URL to commit messages, which helped. In principle PR merging could do the same thing.
