slime-describe-symbol

When using slime I can type Cntl-C Cntl-D Cntl-D to get a description of the symbol at the point. Slime does a good job of figuring out which package the symbol belongs to.

Sometimes I don't know which package the symbol I want comes from, especially in code I didn't write.

Is there a say to ask slime to loop through all the packages (LIST-ALL-PACKAGES) and print the description of each symbol of this name in every package it occurs in?

You can try "C-c C-d a". This invokes `slime-apropos'.

Best,

Thanks for the suggestion. This seems to work ok, but it does not default to the symbol at the point like slime-describe-symbol does :-(
