Hi João: Oantolin no doubt can speak to Embark much better but my present understanding is that it is a toolkit package for generating contextual popup or completion menus with a few standard context menus included. Hyperbole is a much broader personal information management environment, one part of which is to turn every common type of cross-reference found in buffers from programming identifiers to page links into immediately useable hyperlinks with no effort or markup on your part (implicit buttons). Hyperbole includes a large array of implicit buttons and context awareness, rather than expecting you to write your own solutions to all of your needs. It is more turn-key. One appendix in the Hyperbole manual is filled with all the contexts and associated actions that Hyperbole supports out of the box: https://www.gnu.org/software/hyperbole/man/hyperbole.html#toc-Smart-Key-Reference-1 Other features include: named hyperbuttons accessed from any buffer, advanced contact management or hierarchical record searching (point HyRolo at Org files and you can find single entries within hierarchies), automatable frame and window management, action triggers from mouse drags, Org hyperbutton activation outside of Org mode, easy menu-based exposure of Emacs filtering and searching capabilities, quick grid-based display of desired buffers or files. Hyperbole puts your textual information at your fingertips in a myriad of ways, just as Emacs makes text editing convenient and flexible in a myriad of ways. Like Emacs, you are expected to grow into a broad away of uses across time, not to digest all at once or in your first month of use. But by learning and combining capabilities, you can become masterful at managing your information and Org can be a big part of this journey as well. Enjoy. -- rsw On Fri, Jun 24, 2022 at 1:57 PM João Pedro wrote: > Hey Robert.
