27 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;; This mode uses the Keywords library header to provide code-finding
30 ;; services by keyword.
32 ;; Things to do:
33 ;; 1. Support multiple keywords per search. This could be extremely hairy;
34 ;; there doesn't seem to be any way to get completing-read to exit on
35 ;; an EOL with no substring pending, which is what we'd want to end the loop.
36 ;; 2. Search by string in synopsis line?
37 ;; 3. Function to check finder-package-info for unknown keywords.
39 ;;; Code:
41 (require 'lisp-mnt)
42 (require 'find-func) ;for find-library(-suffixes)
43 ;; Use `load' rather than `require' so that it doesn't get loaded
44 ;; during byte-compilation (at which point it might be missing).
