I guess, this makes ? behave like @query.
Yes, it modifies, here <https://github.com/MichaelHatherly/Lexicon.jl/blob/f0f4943933390379b43dc46b95d24c847c9b2eae/src/query.jl#L223-L235>, the Base.active_repl object so that ? mode calls @help followed by @query. This only works in the Julia REPL. None of the editors support this currently. Is there a way to limit how much output is shown? E.g., I may want to “just” show the docstring, but nothing else? I’ve not been able to come up with a nice clean way to limit what’s shown on a per-query basis, but I’d also certainly like to resolve this. Perhaps something like: help?> foobar # show a short summary of “foobar” help?> foobar + # show all the docs on “foobar” might work nicely, or something similar. — Mike On Tuesday, 16 December 2014 15:57:27 UTC+2, Christoph Ortner wrote: > ah - thank you, I finally got it to work.
