Snippet [at post](https://xenodium.com/emacs-fuzzy-search-apples-
online-docs/) and also [config](https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/bl
ob/main/emacs/features/fe-ivy.el#L192). Needs lexical binding.

This is why we emacs.

When you have some weird or annoying itch, emacs has the tools to make
your own scratcher.

This is great, thanks!

 I only want to have two more features now.  ;)

1. `word-at-point` for quickly look up something (like protocols)
without typing.
2. `def-face`? for custom colors in ivy.

>word-at-point for quickly look up something (like protocols) without

I wonder if M-n is already enough? Try M-n after invoking function.

>def-face? for custom colors in ivy.

Can maybe use an existing face to adjust to current theme. Try
something like `(propertize (or .title "") 'face 'font-lock-string-
face)` or `(propertize (or .title "") 'face 'bold-italic)`

ps. counsel-faces is handy to find existing faces.

I am using Evil and my own keybindings. M-n which command is invoked?

ivy-next-history-element, which picks up item at point for me.

~~I'd use `eww` for the final step, and keep the whole process inside
Emacs.~~

Oh Apple; you're just a bit rubbish, aren't you?
