When there is one thing I can’t remember it is the hyperlink-syntax of #markdown. But I also can’t remember in #orgmode if I have to write first the text or the link. Probably I am just getting old.

Yes I know there are mnemonics which I can’t remember either.

@nielsk the best part about org-mode is helper functions to do this stuff for you. IIRC `C-c C-l` prompts you for a link and a description and inserts it at point in the current buffer

@lens_r the “iirc” is already a problem in that sentence ;)

@nielsk why, when you have self documenting code? And packages like which-key

(Are you really going to argue that remembering a fully configurable key binding is too hard to remember??)

@lens_r so I should read the source code of org-mode when I want to insert a link? And I have which-key, then I still need to remember the way to the link or ctrl-x where I have to find the correct “link”-command. When I am typing a text, I just want to type. In the end I use something like the above because I can’t remember the correct way.

@nielsk okay, I guess if an arbitrary key binding of your choice is too much to remember, the situation can't be helped :P

@lens_r since this is the only key-binding I am keeping in my head? Especially one that I rarely need?
