e5167999 27;;; Commentary:
6f8e447f
RS
28
29;; The ideas for this package were derived from the C code in
30;; src/keymap.c and elsewhere. The functions in this file should
31;; always be byte-compiled for speed. Someone should rewrite this in
32;; C (as part of src/keymap.c) for speed.
33
34;; The idea for super-apropos is based on the original implementation
35;; by Lynn Slater <lrs@esl.com>.
36
37;; History:
38;; Fixed bug, current-local-map can return nil.
39;; Change, doesn't calculate key-bindings unless needed.
40;; Added super-apropos capability, changed print functions.
3925e76d
KH
41;;; Made fast-apropos and super-apropos share code.
42;;; Sped up fast-apropos again.
6f8e447f 43;; Added apropos-do-all option.
3925e76d 44;;; Added fast-command-apropos.
6f8e447f 45;; Changed doc strings to comments for helping functions.
3925e76d 46;;; Made doc file buffer read-only, buried it.
6f8e447f
RS
47;; Only call substitute-command-keys if do-all set.
48
645c4f6a
KH
49;; Optionally use configurable faces to make the output more legible.
50;; Differentiate between command, function and macro.
3925e76d
KH
51;; Apropos-command (ex command-apropos) does cmd and optionally user var.
52;; Apropos shows all 3 aspects of symbols (fn, var and plist)
53;; Apropos-documentation (ex super-apropos) now finds all it should.
54;; New apropos-value snoops through all values and optionally plists.
55;; Reading DOC file doesn't load nroff.
56;; Added hypertext following of documentation, mouse-2 on variable gives value
57;; from buffer in active window.
