Yes, that would be a start. > But the _real_ fix is to complain to the authors of the Python manual: Then I would have to complain to a whole lot of authors, as identical indices seem to be common practice! On a quick look, I also found them in the Elisp and Bashref manuals. I suppose that others do it similarly. However this is handled, it would be useful to have a function in info- lookup-symbol that jumps to the next matching index (similar to "," in "i" = Info-index), because often there are multiple relevant entries for one symbol, like e.g. "some_item (definition)" and "some_item (syntax)", that one would typically want to consult successively. > You can switch to the *info* buffer and type "i break TAB". > > This is set up either in info-look.el or in the language-specific mode > package. In this case, see python-after-info-look in python.el. Thanks for the info! For now, I will use the very handy "i break TAB" Regards, Rehceb
