GitLab # trick

[Richard Eisenberg]

Today I learned that if you type # in an input field on GitLab, you can start typing the description of a ticket, and GitLab will find the number of the (open) ticket for you. For example, I typed #zap and got #16775, just what I was looking for. (That I would get this was very clear in the UI -- no surprises here.)

Maybe others already knew this, but this was just so snazzy and ergonomic, I had to write.
