    Regarding 1. Emacs does have keyboard macros. A bit more involved than just hitting dot, but they do let you compose an arbitrary sequence of operations (including selection) that …

    What kind of workflow do you mean? Simply taking a screenshot and inserting a link to it would be pretty easy, at least in Emacs ;; There probably are better solutions already ;; a…

    District heating[1] has been around for a long time. At least here in Finland most people in cities use it. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_heat

    One could also use Emacs (in a graphical window rather than in the terminal) `woman` and `variable-pitch-mode`.

    I just went to my local S-Market and looked around a bit. The big soft drink bottles were all 1.5L (as noinsight said). Milk is available in 1.5L cartons too, but no plastic bottle…
