Interactively query face name?

Interactively query face name?

[Morten Eriksen]

Hi,

I tried the Google groups, but couldn't find an answer to this
question: how can I interactively query the name of the face of the
character under the current cursor position?

M-x describe-text-properties, or use C-u C-x =.

M-x list-text-properties-at

This seems to have been deleted in the development version of Emacs.
According to the NEWS file:

  The command `list-text-properties-at' has been deleted because
  C-u C-x = gives the same information and more.

Yes, and `describe-text-properties' is new -- "C-x = runs the command
what-cursor-position" here (Emacs 21.2). The OP uses Emacs 20.4, as
far as I can see.

Yes, I see that now. I didn't find describe-text-properties in the
NEWS file. But C-x = is what-cursor-position in my Emacs too; I'm
sorry if I confused you with my earlier post.

That's exactly what I was looking for.
