Is there a way to do apropos with C-h f ? Yes. In Icicles, `C-h f some-regexp S-TAB' shows you all functions whose names match `some-regexp'. And you can change the regexp on the fly. And whenever you use a command that expects a function or variable name as input, you can see the complete help for selected completion candidates that match your input, using `C-M-RET'. Icicles also enhances the regular Emacs apropos commands in various ways. http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/Icicles_-_Help_on_Candidates
