## Summary:
The command `do-at-point' is a generalised `find-file-at-point',
both in the sense that it can understand more than just files, and
do more than just open a file. Depending on the "thing" at point,
different "actions" can be dispatched, e.g. opening a url using
`browse-url' or occurring a symbol at point.
The main entry point of this package is `do-at-point'. Bind it to
a convenient key:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-'") #'do-at-point)
Also take a look at `do-at-point-dwim'.
Most of the behaviour is controlled via the user option
`do-at-point-actions' and `do-at-point-user-actions'. A mode may
use `do-at-point-local-actions' to add additional things and/or
actions.
Inspired by Embark and `isearch-forward-thing-at-point'.
## Recent NEWS:
