Inspired the helpful Using Emacs series: https://cestlaz.github.io/posts/using-emacs-6-swiper/ I've been experimenting with C-s bound to swiper rather than isearch. I'm a big fan of Anzu: https://github.com/syohex/emacs-anzu for enhancing isearch, but I'm finding that I use swiper more with this new keybinding.

Turns out that Emacs docstrings have an elaborate escaping mechanism. \[foo] shows the keybinding for foo, but \=\[foo] shows \[foo] literally. If you're a Helpful user, we now handle this correctly, *and* show handy buttons!

Emacs keybinding of the day: C-x C-x, bound to exchange-point-and-mark. Moves point to the other end of selection ('region' in Emacs terms).
