Variables may be set from the helpful buffer, and booleans can be
toggled. If a variable is a defcustom, we also offer Customize.
Show the name of variables at the top of the helpful buffer.
Improved handling of special forms, and prevent users from accidentally unbinding special forms.
Fixed a crash on autoloaded functions that aren't loaded yet.
Fixed a crash in helpful-key for symbols that aren't bound to
commands.
Fixed an issue where viewing help for a function opened a buffer with its source code. Helpful now cleans up any extra buffers it created.
Pressing RET on the extracted source code now goes to the buffer and position where the source code is located.
TAB now moves between buttons in helpful buffers.
Buffer names now include 'function' or 'variable' etc, e.g. *helpful function: message*.
Fixed a crash on viewing aliased primitive functions.
Fixed an issue where we didn't find the path for functions defined
interactively using cl-defstruct.
Interactively defined functions (e.g. try re-evaluating package.el.gz
and looking at package-desc-name) are converted from raw closures to
equivalent defun forms.
We now show the value of variables too.
Added a command helpful-callable, which offers both macros and
functions. This should be a drop-in replacement for
describe-function.
Added a command helpful-key, which offers help on keybindings much
like describe-key.
Added a command helpful-symbol, which offers help on variables,
functions and macros. It prompts the user if a symbol is both a
variable and a callable.
First release.
