(barebone, rare!) Here's a suggestion: add link to info doc in describe mode. Detail: When just using a unfamiliar new mode, such as org-mode, i =20 use M-x describe-mode to see what commands are available. It would be nice that somewhere there is a link to the info doc of =20 the mode if it exists. Similarly, when i use describe-function, would it be good to have a =20 link to the location of the func's doc in elisp manual? -------------------- Another suggestion: when using describe-mode, i find the listing of =20 minor modes at top is confusing. (especially to new users of emacs) =20 Perhaps move the minor mode list to the bottom? Thanks. PS please let me know if it is always better to send separate emails =20 for different issues/suggestions even if minor.
