help ZZ after about and methods

Open mahrud opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

It's annoying that this doesn't work:

i1 : methods matrix

o1 = {0 => (matrix, List)            }
     {1 => (matrix, Matrix)          }
     {2 => (matrix, MutableMatrix)   }
     {3 => (matrix, Number)          }
     {4 => (matrix, Ring, List)      }
     {5 => (matrix, RingElement)     }
     {6 => (matrix, RingFamily, List)}
     {7 => (matrix, RingMap)         }
     {8 => (matrix, String)          }
     {9 => (matrix, Vector)          }

o1 : NumberedVerticalList

i2 : help 8
stdio:2:1:(3): error: no previous 'about' response

especially since help methods matrix is nice, but too long. previousMethodsFound from code.m2 isn't defined locally, so seeAbout could potentially read it, but short of combining it with lastabout, I'm not sure how to tell which one is the most recent.
