so in emacs, I have c-h k, c-h f; for perl i have perl doc; for c, I have man pages
in gambit scheme, when I want to lookup a quick descrition of what a function does, or look up it's source code, what's the most convenient way? currently I'm doing a mix of:
grep "func_name" gambit-c.txt
and
cd ~/gambit-build-dir
grep "func_name" . -R | grep "scm:"
but i feel there should be a more elegant solution
Funny you should ask that now! I am in the process of adding a "comma command" so that ,(h X) will open a browser with the definition of X in gambit-c.html . By clicking on the function name in the browser you will navigate to the page which documents X on the wiki. Once you are on the wiki you can add comments, examples, corrections to X's definition.
That should be available in the next release.
