27 ;;; Synched up with: Last synched with FSF 19.34, diverged since.
28
29 ;;; Commentary:
30
31 ;; The ideas for this package were derived from the C code in
32 ;; src/keymap.c and elsewhere. The functions in this file should
33 ;; always be byte-compiled for speed. Someone should rewrite this in
34 ;; C (as part of src/keymap.c) for speed.
35
36 ;; The idea for super-apropos is based on the original implementation
37 ;; by Lynn Slater <lrs@esl.com>.
38
39 ;;; ChangeLog:
40
41 ;; Fixed bug, current-local-map can return nil.
42 ;; Change, doesn't calculate key-bindings unless needed.
43 ;; Added super-apropos capability, changed print functions.
44 ;;; Made fast-apropos and super-apropos share code.
45 ;;; Sped up fast-apropos again.
46 ;; Added apropos-do-all option.
47 ;;; Added fast-command-apropos.
48 ;; Changed doc strings to comments for helping functions.
49 ;;; Made doc file buffer read-only, buried it.
50 ;; Only call substitute-command-keys if do-all set.
51
52 ;; Optionally use configurable faces to make the output more legible.
53 ;; Differentiate between command, function and macro.
54 ;; Apropos-command (ex command-apropos) does cmd and optionally user var.
55 ;; Apropos shows all 3 aspects of symbols (fn, var and plist)
56 ;; Apropos-documentation (ex super-apropos) now finds all it should.
57 ;; New apropos-value snoops through all values and optionally plists.
58 ;; Reading DOC file doesn't load nroff.
59 ;; Added hypertext following of documentation, mouse-2 on variable gives value
60 ;; from buffer in active window.
61
62 ;;; Code:
63
64 ;; I see a degradation of maybe 10-20% only.
65 ;; [sb -- FSF protects the face declarations with `if window-system'
66 ;; I see no reason why we should do so]
