Interrogating which face is being used

Interrogating which face is being used

[Tim Visher]

Hello Everyone,

I'm wondering if it's possible to interrogate the entity under point
to discover which face is currently being used to control its display.

Thanks!

(defun find-function-or-variable-at-point (&optional prefix)
  "Find function or variable define at current point."
  (interactive "P")
  (if (equal 0 (variable-at-point))     ;if have not variable at current point
      (if (function-called-at-point)    ;if have function call at current point
          (call-interactively (if (null prefix) 'find-function 'find-function-other-window))
        (if (face-at-point)             ;if have face define at current point
            (call-interactively (if (null prefix) 'find-face-definition 'find-face-definition-other-window))
          (message "Nothing at point.")))
    (call-interactively (if (null prefix) 'find-variable 'find-variable-other-window))))

(defun find-face-definition-other-window (face)
  "Find FACE definition at other window."
  (interactive (find-function-read 'defface))
  (find-function-do-it face 'defface 'switch-to-buffer-other-window))

Above is my smart function for find function, variable, face define
around point.

Just binding some key with function
`find-function-or-variable-at-point`.

Enjoy!

You might consider the following function, which you can bind to any key
you want:

(defun describe-face-at-point ()
  "Return face used at point."
  (interactive)
  (get-char-property (point) 'face))
