Is there a name for a hidden user interaction that is impossible to discover because it requires some secret combination of gestures/key strokes?
I hope it is a bad name.
And yes I realize I am an #emacs user.

@[email protected] Anyway, emacs key combos are super discoverable due to its amazing built in help. Just search for the operation you want to achieve! Who wouldn't think to search for "yank from kill ring"?
I genuinely love emacs, but boy do some people say some strange things about it.

@mavnn mx stands for minixuffer
@deech unintuitive? I've always found Stallman's definition of intuitive as retroactively obvious the most useful one. Of course that means that Emacs has an intuitive UX once you learn your way around it.
