The following code lets me collect handles in a single kill ring entry by calling it with my point over a handle or a toot, or with an active region. (defvar my-mastodon-handle "@sacha@social.sachachua.com") (defun my-mastodon-copy-handle (&optional start-new beg end) "Append Mastodon handles to the kill ring. Use the handle...
