A few suggestions
Found this on ELPA, really very nice. Thanks for your work. A few ideas I had right away:
- It would be helpful if the expression/slot/alist element etc. was mentioned on the very first line, so you can recall what expression or element you are inspecting.
- It would be nice if strings which already have face and other properties applied had their formatting preserved rather than overwritten. This would likely mean disabling automatic font-lock and applying `'face' properties where needed.
- I kept finding myself hitting
Retfrom the first character of a line. Perhaps the "button" extended all the way from column 0 of the line so you can "press it" anywhere? - In
*Help*buffers, you can hitsto visit source. It would be lovely if you could invoke a command to directly inspect the contents of a variable being displayed in*Help*. This is useful if you ask for help, but realize the structure is way too large to conveniently explore. You can find the symbol name inhelp-mode--current-data.
Ok. I will look at these when I have some time. Thanks for the feedback. I also welcome pull requests.
