Google Books Ngram Viewer is a lot of fun, but... Who the heck was using in 1800? And what's that uptick in around 1880?

At least no one cared about in the 19th century.

Edit: now I know more about old English.

@sqrtminusone Vim, meaning energetic or lively, is a common word in old English, and still used like in the phrase "with vim and vigor". This is probably what the search hits for Vim are from.

Did you know that you can do a git log just for a small part of the file?

@credmp @abcdw You don't need magit for this.

Emacs does this out of the box with the command vc-region-history (C-x v h).

See also vc-print-log (C-x v l) and vc-annotate (C-x v g).

users of and need to switch to the multiform/grid display.

It's amazing, combining which-key like columnar display with completing-read filtering.

@ctietze It works well with embark-keymap-prompter-key set to something immediate like ' (apostrophe).

Type ' and the keybinding to invoke the command directly from the keymap prompter, combining the advantages of completing-read and which-key.

@oantolin @ctietze Yeah, ' is rarely used in command names or descriptions so it works great.

This is true of buffer/file names/symbols as well, so I also bind it to vertico-quick-exit and corfu-quick-jump.
