In-Reply-To: <20030118.163543.59461489.jet@gyve.org> (message from Masatake YAMATO on Sat, 18 Jan 2003 16:35:43 +0900 (JST))
1. M-x describe-minor-mode
The user of describe-minor-mode can give its argument
with completion. The completion table is built from the
name of minor modes activated on the current buffer.
2. M-x describe-minor-mode-from-indicator
Almost the same as describe-minor-mode but the user
can pass an indicator instead of minor mode name to
get help. I could not implment completion.
(You will be not satisfied with "without completion".)
This is a very useful feature. It could be more useful if the user
could click on a minor mode name in the mode line and get a
description of it. This could work for mahor modes too. Right now
only mouse-3 is used on this part of the mode line.
(It is not hard to call completing-read--did you find this
difficult?).
