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.

The whole setup – where I press C-y twice to trigger the transformation transient – has one drawback: I sometimes legitimately want to call yank twice in a row. This happens when I need to copy the current line and modify the copy so that I have two similar lines in a row. (I often need this when editing Ledger transactions, for example.) What I sometimes do in such a situation is basically a dance of C-a C-1 C-k C-y C-y. It turns out I don’t need to.
