# Introduction

This package provides a `helm` version of [J Vocabulary][dictionary].

[dictionary]: http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/partsofspeech.htm

The candidates are grouped by parts of speech: `adverbs`, `conjunctions`, `verbs`, and `others`.

They're also arranged into a table with four columns:

1. Word itself.

2. Its monadic name, if applicable.

3. Its dyadic name, if applicable. `"` is used if it's the same as monadic name.

4. Its alternate documentation page name if it has one.

# Usage

First you select a command by either name, e.g. with `+:` or `Double` or `Not Or`.

Next, you can:

1. Stop with `C-g`, since you just wanted to see which name corresponds to what, or

   to see to which part of speech the candidate belongs to.

2. Select one of the 3 actions: "Show 1st doc", "Insert" or "Show 2nd doc".

   The corresponding default `helm` shortcuts are `RET`, `C-e` and `C-j`.

   Most of the words don't have a 2nd doc (you can see this in the fourth column),

   and 1st doc will be brought up if you press `C-j` and 2nd isn't available.

## screenshots

Here's the initial table (`C-t` is pressed to make it taller):

Here are the candidates for input `po`:

# Customization

You can customize with `M-x` `customize-group` `RET` `helm-j-cheatsheet` `RET`.

Besides the faces, you can set the custom `jc-make-insert-primary` to `t`, which

results in "Insert" being the first action, instead of "Show 1st doc".

This is more convenient if you want to insert words by English name while coding.

If you would like to use offline, you may customize jc-local-dictionary-url to

point to the docs that ship with a J installation. E.g., on OS X you could have

(setq jc-local-dictionary-url "file:///Applications/j64-804/addons/docs/help/dictionary")
