Feature request: info-org-manual

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi,

there is the info-emacs-manual, bound to C-h r.  Why not introduce
info-org-manual, like this:

(defun info-org-manual ()
  "Display the Org-mode manual in Info mode."
  (interactive)
  (info "org"))

(the above code is a tiny change;), since it's more or less s/emacs/org/
on the original function).  It might be bound to e.g. C-h o (at least
in Org-mode), which seems to be free in stock Emacs.

What do you think?

I'll play the Devil's advocate, there are many emacs packages with info
pages of their own.  AFAIK, none of them do this.  That said, if such a
command is introduced, probably it should be org-info; keeping with the
convention of all Org commands go under the org-* namespace (same as
org-submit-bug-report).

That command does already exist.  Also accessible from
the Org menu, under Documentation.  And indeed, we need to stay
in org's namespace, I agree.

Sorry, then.  It happened once again: I thought "it would be nice if
Org had such-and-such feature", and it already has it...  It's kinda
creepy;).  (I'll probably bind it to some handy key in my init.el,
though.)

Yeah, happens all the time.  I have been using Org since 2009 I think,
and I didn't know!

BTW: I have long ago disabled my Emacs menu (and toolbar - they take
too much screen real estate, and are useless anyway;)), and - even
though I've read the Org-mode manual (almost) cover to cover - I now
also grepped it: this command is never mentioned there!  So I guess
that my lack of knowledge was justifiable. :)

The only example I have in mind is Gnus, which has gnus-info-find-node
bound to C-c TAB in *some* gnus buffers (e.g. group and summary buffers)

Well, the manual does not contain everything; never did, never will.

One quick 'n easy way to find it with apropos and Icicles (my own keybindings...):
1. C-u C-h f 
2. org- 
3. Tab (=icicle-prefix-complete)
4. C-s (=icicle-narrow-candidates)
5. info

=>
,----[ *completion buffer* ]
| org-add-planning-info			  org-babel-view-src-block-info	
| org-info				  org-table-field-info 
| org-texinfo-convert-region-to-texinfo 
`----

or M-x apropos-command for "org info" ...
