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))))
