Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Posts on setting Emacs key bindings in GTK apps and handling GitHub pull requests locally with git. HN commenters cite them as practical tips for those tasks.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
GTK has always supported Emacs bindings, configurable with a setting: http://tiborsimko.org/emacs-bindings-in-gtk-apps.html I use these settings and find them quite handy. Of course, that doesn't give you new-tab/close-tab/save on M-t/w/s, for that you have to install some Firefox addon etc. – not quite OS-wide consistency :(

HN discussionYou can also configure git to fetch the GitHub PR branches[0]. Add this line to your .git/config: fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/upstream/pr/* This has to be done in each repository you have checked out locally, but maybe it is possible to also have this done globally. But I never tried to do it. [0] http://tiborsimko.org/github-local-handling-of-pull-requests...
