Looking up symbol documentation in Counterclockwise

245 views Asked by At

In Counterclockwise, if I use CTRL-Space to complete a symbol name, and there are more than one possibility, it gives me a list, and on the right and side of the list is a box with the documentation for each symbol as I scroll through the names.

Is there any way to get this documentation window without using completion, or if there is only one option for the completion? Right now I am looking up documentation by deleting enough letters for the symbol to be ambiguous, then reselecting the symbol I want, but this is pretty inefficient. Usually I just want to know what order the arguments are. I'm not a huge emacs fan, but one thing I like about slime is that I seem to remember when I used it the status bar had a little list of the arguments for whatever function I was calling.

I've googled the problem and also looked on the counterclockwise web page, but I must be using the wrong search terms because I haven't come up with anything.

You should be able to hover the mouse over the symbol, and the documentation will popup. Or press F2 while the cursor is over the symbol.
