[Openmcl-devel] AppKiDo

[Glen Foy]

Well it works, and it's fast.  If you would like to give it a try, you need to install a current copy of AppKiDo:

http://www.appkido.com

cd ccl/contribs/cocoa-ide/foy
svn update

(require :context-menu-cm)
(require :cl-documentation-cm)
(require :list-definitions-cm)
(require :hemlock-commands-cm)
(cmenu:set-default-tool "List-Definitions-CM")
(ldefs::open-first-file-history-list-entry)

Then put point on a Cocoa function and type control-x, control-d.
AppKiDo will open to the appropriate page.  You can then close the AppKiDo window, but keep the application running.  That way your next lookup will be fast.

(The #@ reader macro works much better when you don't forget the #)

If you select the name of a Cocoa function and select the "Services" submenu, "Look Up in AppKiDo",  the browser will open to the appropriate page.
