24 ;;; Commentary:
26 ;; The ideas for this package were derived from the C code in
27 ;; src/keymap.c and elsewhere. The functions in this file should
28 ;; always be byte-compiled for speed. Someone should rewrite this in
29 ;; C (as part of src/keymap.c) for speed.
31 ;; The idea for super-apropos is based on the original implementation
32 ;; by Lynn Slater <lrs@esl.com>.
34 ;; History:
35 ;; Fixed bug, current-local-map can return nil.
36 ;; Change, doesn't calculate key-bindings unless needed.
37 ;; Added super-apropos capability, changed print functions.
38 ;; Made fast-apropos and super-apropos share code.
39 ;; Sped up fast-apropos again.
40 ;; Added apropos-do-all option.
41 ;; Added fast-command-apropos.
42 ;; Changed doc strings to comments for helping functions.
43 ;; Made doc file buffer read-only, buried it.
44 ;; Only call substitute-command-keys if do-all set.
46 ;;; Code:
