After a recent post by @chiply@fosstodon.org on r/emacs, I decided to give Hyperbole another shot. I installed it and it stole some some important key bindings including M-o which I use for other-window. I still want to give it a shot, but now I need to install it again because my body rejected it: I uninstalled it on autopilot so quickly I didn't have time to think "It's OK, I still want to try it, I'm sure I can change the key bindings". By the time that thought was finished the mode was deactivated and the package deleted! ๐
In this case it wasn't what I wanted, but it's good to know my #Emacs instincts kick in quickly to protect me from Emacs dangers.
EDIT: Surely hyperbole-mode being activated upon *instalation* counts as a bug?
EDIT 2: Wow! It clobbers the global binding for C-h h! Even if you turn hyperbole-mode off you still loose your binding for C-h h. ๐ฑ
