Ar an naoiú lá de mí Eanair, scríobh Stephen J. Turnbull: Six keystrokes (Alt, x, m, a, n, RET) vs, three for C-h C-m? (You only have to press control once.) Bear in mind too, that people on BSD and many of the commercial Unixes tend to use man pages a lot more because the lesser influence from the gratuitous FSF incompatibility of Info means they’re _useful._ *exhales* ... this is what I have, and it’s very old, from before I cared about getting lisp right, only about getting it running: (defun apropos-man-page () "Run the Unix apropos command, outputting to an Emacs buffer." (interactive) (let ((val (read-from-minibuffer "Keyword: "))) (shell-command (concat "apropos " val) "*apropos-man-page*"))) (global-set-key "\C-cm" 'manual-entry) (global-set-key "\C-ca" 'apropos-man-page) I can put something more comprehensive together--even looking at man.el now, it seems that if you start the argument to manual-entry with “-k” it’ll do the apropos thing automatically. If possible. -- “Ah come on now Ted, a Volkswagen with a mind of its own, driving all over the place and going mad, if that’s not scary I don’t know what is.”
