    @gijs In my head the mnemonic is that it's like M-. but goes to help instead of definition.

      @gijs Thanks for this. Despite many years of use, I still daily learn something new about Emacs. 🙂

        Ah yes -- it's the same here.

          I was playing with "which key". While C-h (wait) will show me " . display-local-help", that doesn't tell me that this will display the URL.

            `which-key`, although very useful, is most helpful for when you cannot remember a key binding. Much more relevant here, to find out what a particular key binding does, is `describe-key`, bound to `C-h k` by default.

            So try `C-h k C-h .`.

              Agreed!

              Wishlist: a built-in LLM, written in a Lisp, of course, so that we can ask "how do I"

                @gijs @ericsfraga I love embark bindings with marginalia.

                  @gijs @ericsfraga the "local help" system in generic, and is genrally used to display hints that modes insert into a buffer using text properties or overlays. With Flymake for example it will print the highlighted warning or error message at point.
