Comment Post #286806 Ah, that's unfortunate. Yes `mm` was more of an example, but good suggestion considering.

Question What is the magit equivalent of git switch branch?
What is the magit equivalent of `git switch branch`? I'm particularly interested in the situation where you cloned a repo, and want to checkout a remote branch locally. From the commandline that usually looks like: ```sh $ git clone repo $ cd repo $ git branch -a remotes/origin/branch ...

Comment Post #286767 Isn't it great?! I started naming most of my text files with the `.md` extension as a habit now. This usually comes with the nice benefit of unobtrusive syntax highlighting and features like being able to open links (`markdown-do`, `markdown-follow-thing-at-point`, `markdown-follow-link-at-point` all...

Comment Post #286781 Yes, I am looking for a GUI solution and mentioned Gimp in the post. I linked to the original inspiring post that shows exactly how this image was created, but it doesn't seem like pandas supports this sort of thing easily.

Comment Post #286785 @#36377 this is a very clever solution. How did you figure out the coordinates? Was it trial and error? Because this is such a manual process, and the coordinates are figured outside of the program, I'm thinking a point and click solution might be best here, even though I'm usually averse to such...

Question How to jump to original mark after overwriting
MWE In Vim: 1. `mm`. 2. `o ESC` 3. `mm` (by accident, meant `mn`). Question How do I jump to the original mark `m` set in action 1.? Edit I'm sorry, what I meant was you issue `mm` when you meant `'m`. (It almost happened to me again.) Both are legitimate.

Answer A: How to blockquote region in Emacs
