emacs-gtk-look 29 Find and display HTML documentation for GTK, GNOME and Glib

The documentation is expected to be devhelp indexes with HTML files. The location of the indexes can be customized. In addition to C code development gtk-look is good for

  • perl-gtk2, recognising class funcs like Gtk2::Label->new and bare method names like set_text.

  • guile-gnome, recognising methods like set-text and classes like <gtk-window>.
