I had no idea there was a hotkey for that. Thank you!

Even better, doing so allows GitHub to insert a source snippet if you paste a link like that into an issue or comment.

Yeah, I just always used the context windows to set permalink. Saves me a step now!

My pleasure!

What do you mean by "to ensure it stays accurate"? Why wouldn't it be accurate if you're just copy-pasting the link?

is the link to the file as it exists on "main" currently, or at a specific revision, so in three years, it will still refer to that version of the file?

This is cool, but also broken. If you click "raw" after pressing y without reloading, the link is still to a tag/branch.
