Ahoy,
As previously discussed the documentation commands have now been grouped under a `C-c C-d' prefix. The commands are:
a - apropos p - apropos-package z - apropos-all d - describe-symbol f - describe-function h - hyperspec lookup ~ - hyperspec lookup of a format character
The final keystroke is bound both unmodified and with control, so both `C-c C-d a' and `C-c C-d C-a' will make an apropos search.
Why? It seems silly to eat up twice as many key combos as we need to. (I haven't been following the discussion of this closely so if there was some reason that everyone already agreed was righteous you can just tell me so.)
Well, at least I like the last key unmodified, and at least Bill Clementson likes the last key modified. I figured that since they're already on their own documentation-commands prefix (C-c C-d) that we're unlikely to run out of keys, so we can just make everyone happy in this respect.
There's still meta if we do end up running out of letters. :-)
