This proved to be not so easy as I thought.
I installed emacs24-el and in help-fns.el I saw how
they did it in `describe-variable' - this is a
variation of their method, only, to determine if it is
a variable, they use
(or (get vv 'variable-documentation)
(and (boundp vv)
(not (keywordp vv)))))
while I use `boundp' only - I don't know what
`keywordp' brings. However, `boundp' isn't optimal for
unbounded variables (of course) - in those cases, it
should be communicated that there is such a variable,
only it isn't bound. `symbolp' perhaps in combination
with something else (because sumbolp is too inclusive).
Anyway, check it out.
(defun describe-variable-short (var)
(interactive
(let*((v (variable-at-point))
(var-at-point (not (eq v 0)))
(v-name (if var-at-point (symbol-name v)))
(v-final
(completing-read
;; prompt
(format " Variable%s: " (if var-at-point
(format " (default %s)" v)
""))
obarray ; from this set (all objects?)
(lambda (vv) (boundp vv)) ; delimit set
t ; require match
nil ; no insert to minibuffer (?)
nil ; no history
v-name ; default
)))
`(,(intern v-final))))
(message (format " %s: %s" (symbol-name var) (symbol-value var))) )
(global-set-key "\C-hV" 'describe-variable-short)
