Maybe underlying Lisp functions can be used > for that feature. Would it be possible to make something like Helm occur where I can type a term as pattern in minibuffer and then helm will show different hits in a buffer; say something like those ambigious names I don't remember like dired-file-name-at-point and dired-filename-at-point; or if there is a function and local varaible with same name; so that docs for all hits are shown in an helm occur buffer, which I can easiry navigate when I wish just to skim over what function does? I would prefer that to C-h f or C-h v. It is already really awesome to be able to see parameters shown on modeline when I call a function in minibuffer; and jumping into doch with C-h ... when I wish to test how something works or see the implementation in another window is indespensible. I just miss something to look up docs when I need to clear up what something was when I know how use it but have maybe forgotten some details (like did I want string-replace or replace-string? ). Maybe there is already something like that, I am just not aware of it? Would be cool for docs, but it would be also very cool for a dictionary in general; say for pulling a description of a word from different dictionaries.
