#### 3.1.2 Using the “Word at Point” as a Topic Suggestion

By default, the `woman` command uses the word nearest to point in the current buffer as a suggestion for the topic to look up, if it exists as a valid topic. The topic can be confirmed or edited in the minibuffer.

You can also bind the variable `woman-use-topic-at-point` locally to a non-`nil` value (using `let`), in which case `woman` will can use the suggested topic without confirmation if possible. This may be useful to provide special private key bindings, e.g. this key binding for `C-c w` runs WoMan on the topic at point without seeking confirmation:

         (global-set-key "\C-cw"
                         (lambda ()
                           (interactive)
                           (let ((woman-use-topic-at-point t))
                             (woman))))
