Invocation

You can invoke Hyperbole’s commands in one of three ways:

• use the Hyperbole entry on your menubar;
• type {C-h h} or {M-x hyperbole RET} to display the Hyperbole minibuffer menu;
• use a specific Hyperbole command, for example, a press of {M-RET} on a pathname to display the associated file or directory.

{C-h h} enables Hyperbole if it has been disabled and displays a Hyperbole menu in the minibuffer for quick keyboard or mouse-based selection. Select an item from this menu by typing the item’s first capital letter. Use {Q} (note this is capitalized) to quit from the minibuffer menu while leaving Hyperbole enabled. Use {X} (note this is capitalized) to quit from the minibuffer menu and disable Hyperbole’s minor mode.

Use {C-h h d d} for an interactive demonstration of standard Hyperbole button capabilities.

Type {C-h h k e} for an interactive demonstration of the Koutliner, Hyperbole’s multi-level autonumbered hypertextual outliner.

To try out HyControl, Hyperbole’s interactive frame and window control system, use {C-h h s w} for window control or {C-h h s f} for frame control. Pressing {t} switches between window and frame control once in HyControl. Hyperbole also binds {C-c \} for quick access to HyControl’s window control menu if it was not already bound prior to Hyperbole’s initialization.

Videos demonstrating Hyperbole’s features are listed at https://gnu.org/s/hyperbole.

The above are the best interactive ways to learn about Hyperbole.
