46.5 Finding Files and URLs at Point
The FFAP package replaces certain key bindings for finding files,
such as C-x C-f, with commands that provide more sensible
defaults. These commands behave like the ordinary ones when given a
prefix argument. Otherwise, they get the default file name or URL
from the text around point. If what is found in the buffer has the
form of a URL rather than a file name, the commands use
browse-url
to view it (see Browse-URL).
This feature is useful for following references in mail or news
buffers, README
files, MANIFEST
files, and so on. For
more information, view the package commentary by typing C-h P
ffap RET.
To enable FFAP, type M-x ffap-bindings. This makes the following key bindings, and also installs hooks for additional FFAP functionality in Rmail, Gnus and VM article buffers.
