Does helm have an equivalent of ivy-rich

[rbenson]

Hi, I have been watching videos, and after some poking around, found people have beefed up their experience by installing ivy-rich. Is there something equivalent in helm, particularly for helm-M-x.

I don't know what is ivy-rich and what it does. What do you miss in helm-M-x?

Sorry for the delay, i didn't get a notification. It adds extra details to in M-x and such, see https://github.com/Yevgnen/ivy-rich/blob/master/screenshots.org

Now you can hit C-] in helm-M-x.

Sweet - thanks.

Hey folks,

Wondering about the same. When I hit helm-m-x, I don't get any doc strings in the resulting window:

What am I missing? C-] is not a binding I can find.

Looks what you are using is a modified Emacs or Helm, Spacemacs perhaps? Generally all problems come from there.
Here a vanilla Helm after hitting C-]:

@thierryvolpiatto Vanilla emacs on OS X 🤷

I don't have anything bound to C-]. Do you mind doing a describe-key on your instance?

You have it, just it have been disabled, check your config. (defvar helm-M-x-map (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap))) (set-keymap-parent map helm-comp-read-map) (define-key map (kbd "C-u") nil) (define-key map (kbd "C-u") #'helm-M-x-universal-argument) (define-key map (kbd "C-]") #'helm-M-x-toggle-short-doc) map)) C-h k from helm-M-x: C-] runs the command helm-M-x-toggle-short-doc, which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `helm-command.el'. It is bound to C-]. (helm-M-x-toggle-short-doc) Toggle short doc display in helm-M-x. I forgot adding the command from helm-M-x-map in helm-M-x help (C-h m), will do soon.

eval: Symbol’s function definition is void: helm-M-x-toggle-short-doc

and

~/.emacs.d ❯❯❯ grep -ri 'helm-M-x-toggle-short-doc' *
~/.emacs.d ❯❯❯

I think I might have a different problem! Thanks for letting me know what the command should be.

Looks like I was using an older version of Helm. With an upgrade it's there. Thanks @thierryvolpiatto
