Many details about a topic can be changed from the buffer that visits that topic, but also from topic lists, if the cursor is placed on the topic to be edited. However, to edit the posts on a topic, the topic has to be visited in its own buffer.
forge-edit-post) ¶This command visits an existing post in a separate buffer, it can only be invoked from a topic buffer, when the cursor is on the post to be edited.
Editing an existing post is similar to creating a new post, as described in the previous section.
forge-delete-comment) ¶This command deletes the post the cursor is on. The initial message that was written when the topic was created, cannot be deleted, only replies to that.
forge-topic-menu) ¶This command displays a menu used to edit details about the topic the cursor is on or that is being visited in the current buffer. E.g., it can be used to change the status of the topic or to apply labels to it. Additionally it features a few commands that act on that topic.
Details about a topic, such as its status and labels, can
alternatively be edited by visiting the topic in its own buffer,
navigating to the header that displays the detail and then typing C-c
C-e. This older approach is still available, but it is usually much
faster to use the menu.
