Subject: bug#46702: Link symbol name in Help
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2021 06:05:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <HodoNB8z2mwNTAHcXZq4pyTFlxvDzJjDAJAASw4RMe9k5vrs34HDSudkDXyI03TMIS5IVxHDV5vtO-9kPoA_psYSsYtJrqNr3a7ryYy9l-w=@protonmail.com> (raw)
When I wanted to a check a buffer's mode then I did a C-h v
major-mode to see which mode it is and wanted to jump to its code
to check something. The symbol value was not linked, so I had to
type it to look it up.
Demonstrated here with the scratch buffer, showing that
lisp-interaction-mode is not linked in the second line:

It could link to the symbol's help if the value is a symbol to
make looking it up more convenient.
If it's both a function and a variable then it can ask which one
I want to jump to when clicked.
