charset=UTF-8 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hi. I suggest adding a "Describe Package" menu item in the "Help > Describe" menu, in analogy to the other `describe-*' functions. The attached patch adds the menu entry. Looking at the neighboring entries, it seems like the function should be bound to C-h p. However, this binding is already in use (by `finder-by-keyword'). The subject has (without much success) been brought up on emacs-devel: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-06/msg00868.html Kind regards, Jan Moringen --Boundary_(ID_hXfPDLw+XYKSAFeWCTGCrA) Content-type: text/x-patch; name=describe-package.patch; charset=UTF-8 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Content-disposition: attachment; filename=describe-package.patch --- lisp/menu-bar.el.orig 2010-07-18 01:00:44.000000000 +0200 +++ lisp/menu-bar.el 2010-07-18 04:54:07.522794927 +0200 @@ -1404,6 +1332,9 @@ (define-key menu-bar-describe-menu [describe-current-display-table] `(menu-item ,(purecopy "Describe Display Table") describe-current-display-table :help ,(purecopy "Describe the current display table"))) +(define-key menu-bar-describe-menu [describe-package] + `(menu-item ,(purecopy "Describe Package...") describe-package + :help ,(purecopy "Display information about an Emacs software package"))) (define-key menu-bar-describe-menu [describe-face] `(menu-item ,(purecopy "Describe Face...") describe-face :help ,(purecopy "Display the properties of a face"))) --Boundary_(ID_hXfPDLw+XYKSAFeWCTGCrA)--
