Defining properties (docstrings) for Emacs key bindings

71 views Asked by At

I [currently] don't use the menu feature for want of screen real estate, so it's possible the answer lies there.

Is there any way to associate a docstring with a keybinding such that it'll show up in the C-c C-h (or related) help displays? Right now all I get is either Prefix Command or the name of the function/lambda to which the key is bound. I'd like to have something about the purpose of the prefixed keymap for the former, and explanatory text for the more obscure functions for the latter.

Yes, I know that clicking on the function name will bring up a help window with details; I'm just looking for a one-liner property that can be shown in the original *Help* pane without disrupting the screen layout with new panes.

I suspect the answer is 'no,' but it seems a fairly obvious feature..

Thanks!
