For now I have improved. It will get fun when I start designing various impact by using prefixes like C-1 C-2 etc. (defun hyperscope-action-button () (interactive) (cond ((thing-at-point 'uuid) (rcd-db-uuid-action (thing-at-point 'uuid))) ((thing-at-point 'url) (browse-url (thing-at-point 'url))) ((thing-at-point 'email) (rcd-write-email user-full-name user-mail-address (thing-at-point 'email) (thing-at-point 'email))) ((and (thing-at-point 'symbol) (boundp (symbol-at-point))) (find-variable (symbol-at-point))) ((and (thing-at-point 'symbol) (fboundp (symbol-at-point))) (find-function (symbol-at-point))) ((thing-at-point 'number) (hyperscope-isolate (thing-at-point 'number))) ((thing-at-point 'word) (funcall (cond ((fboundp 'wordnut-search) 'wordnut-search) ((fboundp 'dictionary-search) 'dictionary-search)) (thing-at-point 'word))) (t (rcd-message "Hyperscope action not defined.")))) By using prefixes like C-1, C-2, I can tell for example for (thing-at-point 'word): - without prefix, look up in local or remote server dictionary - for C-0 try to expand the word - for C-1 is to quote the word with single quotes - for C-2 is to quote the word with double quotes - for C-3 look up the word in online WWW dictionary like Wiktionary or Duden - etc. etc. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
