Anyway, as a poor-man's replacement for some of the ffap
functionality, I added a minibuffer key (I use `M-.') to all
minibuffer maps. This command just yanks the symbol name at point
into the minibuffer, replacing what was there.
...
Any interest in adding such a feature?
I like the idea. I use C-w in isearch a lot, and this is similar. I
cannot see many cases I would use it right now, but I think it would
be useful when doing C-h f and when the word to the left of point is
just a partial function name.
For example, if point is just after `string-match' and I do C-h f I
get string-match suggested as default value. That is good. Sometimes
I start writing a function name but I don't know the whole name. In
those cases C-h f will not help me at all, even if I have written the
first characters of the function name. In that case, this M-. key
would have been useful to me.
I am curious, what do you use this for?
