e5167999 25;;; Commentary:
6f8e447f
RS
26
27;; The ideas for this package were derived from the C code in
28;; src/keymap.c and elsewhere. The functions in this file should
29;; always be byte-compiled for speed. Someone should rewrite this in
30;; C (as part of src/keymap.c) for speed.
31
32;; The idea for super-apropos is based on the original implementation
33;; by Lynn Slater <lrs@esl.com>.
34
35;; History:
36;; Fixed bug, current-local-map can return nil.
37;; Change, doesn't calculate key-bindings unless needed.
38;; Added super-apropos capability, changed print functions.
3925e76d
KH
39;;; Made fast-apropos and super-apropos share code.
40;;; Sped up fast-apropos again.
6f8e447f 41;; Added apropos-do-all option.
3925e76d 42;;; Added fast-command-apropos.
6f8e447f 43;; Changed doc strings to comments for helping functions.
3925e76d 44;;; Made doc file buffer read-only, buried it.
6f8e447f
RS
45;; Only call substitute-command-keys if do-all set.
46
645c4f6a
KH
47;; Optionally use configurable faces to make the output more legible.
48;; Differentiate between command, function and macro.
3925e76d
KH
49;; Apropos-command (ex command-apropos) does cmd and optionally user var.
50;; Apropos shows all 3 aspects of symbols (fn, var and plist)
51;; Apropos-documentation (ex super-apropos) now finds all it should.
52;; New apropos-value snoops through all values and optionally plists.
53;; Reading DOC file doesn't load nroff.
54;; Added hypertext following of documentation, mouse-2 on variable gives value
55;; from buffer in active window.
