One of these things is a weekly review. A part of my weekly review is checking how much time I’d spent on various things during the past week.

For example, C-x z is bound to the repeat command which – well – repeats the last command. However, there is another feature of Emacs which uses the word “repeat” and is very useful.

Sometimes you may have an important Emacs buffer you don’t want to kill accidentally. (For example, it might be an Eshell buffer with a long-running process, or a scratch buffer not associated with any file where you have some notes – although that is obviously asking for trouble.)

Sometimes it is an article copied from the internet using org-web-tools, sometimes it is a long answer to my question to an LLM, and sometimes it is an ebook I’m reading using nov.el. Either way, I often like to know how much I have left.

Pretty often I do code reviews from within Magit. There was one thing that has bothered me for a long time.
