Yes, Emacs is quite capable of doing multi-file refactoring. You can do this and live to tell the tale.

Over a rainy-day weekend, went down the rabbit hole of figuring out how to replace the Emacs toolbar images with SF Symbols. Here's a screenshot showing what I've got so far. Wondering out loud, is there enough interest to see this published as a MELPA package?

These three links have informed a lot of my thinking of late on writing Elisp, which I am admittedly novice at. The quoted paragraph in the first link on the chaos of using a map-style (key, value) collection is especially resonant to me. I personally don't care to please old Elisp heads who say we should only use builtins. I want to use conventional abstractions that are shared among the languages I know like Python, Swift, JavaScript, and Java.

Okay here's another Transient I've made a while back, in this case for Avy. A bit esoteric, but this has enabled me to get a lot more out of Avy than just using avy-goto-word-1 or avy-goto-char-timer. Wondering out loud if I should publish this on MELPA.
Also yes, I've read Karthik's post on using Avy wrong. I readily admit I'm not sophisticated enough to put filter-select-act into practice.

Ever been too scared to use the #Emacs file manager Dired? I have and still remember what it's like, especially when I was new to it. But it doesn't have to be that way. Here's my take on making Dired a bit easier to use, for beginners and experienced alike.

On the topic of #Emacs Dired, I recently made a Transient for it . Dunno if this merits publishing on MELPA, but it works quite well for me, perhaps for others as well?
