28 ;; The ideas for this package were derived from the C code in
29 ;; src/keymap.c and elsewhere. The functions in this file should
30 ;; always be byte-compiled for speed. Someone should rewrite this in
31 ;; C (as part of src/keymap.c) for speed.
33 ;; The idea for super-apropos is based on the original implementation
34 ;; by Lynn Slater <lrs@esl.com>.
37 ;; Fixed bug, current-local-map can return nil.
38 ;; Change, doesn't calculate key-bindings unless needed.
39 ;; Added super-apropos capability, changed print functions.
40 ;; Made fast-apropos and super-apropos share code.
41 ;; Sped up fast-apropos again.
42 ;; Added apropos-do-all option.
43 ;; Added fast-command-apropos.
44 ;; Changed doc strings to comments for helping functions.
45 ;; Made doc file buffer read-only, buried it.
46 ;; Only call substitute-command-keys if do-all set.
48 ;; Optionally use configurable faces to make the output more legible.
49 ;; Differentiate between command, function and macro.
50 ;; Apropos-command (ex command-apropos) does cmd and optionally user var.
51 ;; Apropos shows all 3 aspects of symbols (fn, var and plist)
52 ;; Apropos-documentation (ex super-apropos) now finds all it should.
53 ;; New apropos-value snoops through all values and optionally plists.
54 ;; Reading DOC file doesn't load nroff.
55 ;; Added hypertext following of documentation, mouse-2 on variable gives value
56 ;; from buffer in active window.
63 "Apropos commands for users and programmers."
67 ;; I see a degradation of maybe 10-20% only.

69 "Non nil means apropos commands will search more extensively.
70 This may be slower. This option affects the following commands:
72 `apropos-user-option' will search all variables, not just user options.
73 `apropos-command' will also search non-interactive functions.
74 `apropos' will search all symbols, not just functions, variables, faces,
75 and those with property lists.
76 `apropos-value' will also search in property lists and functions.
77 `apropos-documentation' will search all documentation strings, not just
78 those in the etc/DOC documentation file.
80 This option only controls the default behavior. Each of the above
81 commands also has an optional argument to request a more extensive search.
