Gnome-emacs-utils ================= This is a set of Emacs Lisp utilities to help Gnome developers. License ======= Gnome-emacs-utils is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later. See the file COPYING for details. Installation ============ The main Emacs file is gnome-emacs-utils.el. You can put this in your .emacs to load this file: (load-library "/home/you/src/gnome-emacs-utils/gnome-emacs-utils.el") You will then need to tweak that gnome-emacs-utils.el for the correct load path. See the line where it does (add-to-list 'load-path ...) and modify it to fit your setup. Current features ================ * Devhelp. You can press [f7] and Devhelp will appear showing reference documentation for the word at the point. For example, if the point is on any part of the "gtk_widget_show" token and you press [f7], Devhelp will appear with that function's documentation. Alternatively, you can press [f6] to toggle the "Devhelp assistant". This is a little window that shows you help for a *single* function (e.g. gtk_widget_show()) instead of the whole widget's documentation (GtkWidget). When you move the Emacs point to another word, the assistant window will automatically show help for that new word, without you having to press anything else. Press [f6] again to disable the Devhelp assistant. * Mallard. If you load a .page document (a Mallard XML file), nxml-mode will be used with the Mallard schema automatically loaded. This will give you completion for Mallard element names and attributes, and proper XML validation. * Yasnippet. There is a gnome-emacs-utils/snippets directory with snippets that you can use with Yasnippet, to auto-expand strings into fill-in forms (see http://emacswiki.org/emacs/Yasnippet for more information). Wanted features =============== * Now that we have gobject-introspection, use one of Emacs's typing completion libraries to implement "IntelliSense for Gnome functions": http://emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryCompletion Authors ======= Federico Mena Quintero <federico@gnome.org> Dirk-Jan C.
