One interesting design choice in Emacs that I haven't seen in other editors: reserved shortcuts. An Emacs extension shouldn't use F5 through F12, or Ctrl-c LETTER. This lets users configure their own shortcuts. https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Key-Bindings.html Does it exist elsewhere? I miss it in VS Code, where e.g. all the Fn keys are already assigned.

I've been playing with Hammerspoon to speed up my workflow on macOS. Setting up shortcuts to jump to my most used apps is really nice. Alt-Tab forces me to choose from a large list.

Explicitly configuring a 'hyper' key for global shortcuts, regardless of the current active application: https://prodtyping.com/blog/hyperkey-hammerspoon Nice idea -- making the desktop more like a modeless UI!
