[ELPA] New package: use-package-hydra

[Toon Claes]

Hi,

I'd like to request adding use-package-hydra to ELPA.

It uses the powers of hydra, and adds them to use-package. See
https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/hydra.html for info about hydra.

use-package isn't on ELPA, but it might be one day. See
https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package

At the bottom is the README of the package. There are still some feature
I'd like to add in the future, but I think users can benefit from the
current version as-is. And I'm also hoping to attract contributors by
publishing this on ELPA.

Any comment is welcome.

* use-package-hydra

This package adds the =:hydra= keyword to the =use-package= macro.

** Usage

You can define [[https://github.com/abo-abo/hydra][Hydras]] directly in the 
=use-package= definition. The
=:hydra= keyword expects the same arguments as =defhydra= does.

You can define a single hydra, or a list of hydras.

Binding a key to a hydra is similar as with =defhydra=. You can
specify the map and the key in the hydra itself, or you can use the
=use-package= =:bind= keyword to bind a key to the =<hydra-name>/body=
function.

** Examples

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle yes
  (use-package yasnippet
    :after hydra
    :bind (:map yas-minor-mode-map ("<f2>" . hydra-yas/body))
    :hydra (hydra-yas (:color blue :hint nil)
            "
                ^YASnippets^
