Create transient keybindings with a shared prefix through *Hydra*[fn:10]. This is also used by a number of third-party packages as a completion system. An implementation example is available in the *Font* section of the [[file:interface.org][Interface]] module.

Another really incredible piece of kit, shipped with Emacs. *Eshell*[fn:15] is a fully POSIX compliant shell written entirely in Emacs Lisp.
