=========
This library implements rendering of popup box with "Clippy, the paper clip". You can make him say various things by calling `clippy-say` function. To hide the pop-up, simply invoke any command (move forward/backward, type, `C-g` etc., any event is recognized).
By default Clippy show tip using `pos-tip`. you may prefer using `popup`.
`(setq clippy-tip-show-function #'clippy-popup-tip-show)`
As inspiration, two functions are provided: `clippy-describe-function` and `clippy-describe-variable`. Bind any of these functions to a key, then while point is over a function/variable, call it. A popup with helpfull clippy will appear, telling you about the function/variable (using `describe-function` and `describe-variable` respectively).
This package depends on `pos-tip` or `popup`.
Code is roughly based on: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PosTip#toc3
The inspiration to write this package came from [http://www.geekzone.co.nz/foobar/5656](http://www.geekzone.co.nz/foobar/5656), a crazy discussion on #emacs and my terrible headache stopping me from doing anything more productive.
