Subject: Getting help for a widget
Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2006 14:07:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <442D1B69.6070103@student.lu.se> (raw)

I think it is too difficult to get help for a widget. As an example try 
`recent-open-files'. This will create a buffer where each file is shown 
with a widget. If you press

    C-h k

on a file you get help for `widget-button-press'. But what does the 
button do? Do find out this you have to know there is an interactive 
function you can use:

    M-x widget-browse-at

I would suggest for now that `widget-button-press' mentions this. Maybe 
it is also simple enough to make the :action in the *Browse Widget* 
buffer a help-link?

After the release I would suggest that help for widgets are enhanced.
