Dr. Drang summarized a recent post by Ian Brown about numeronyms in a playful and clever way. Brown created an Emacs extension for easily using numeronyms like “a11y,” but Drang preferred a Keyboard Maestro macro for the task. He explained the Perl code behind the macro, highlighting its evaluation feature for creating numeronyms. Drang accounted for Unicode characters like “ä,” ensuring accurate numeronym results with the -C switch. He included helpful details about word selection and managing clipboard history in the macro. Drang thanked Brown and Anil Dash for their contributions and shared some fun banter about their favorite numeronyms.
