How do I find documentation about a specific type? For instance a list of all known procs usable on system.sec[T]?

In each documentation page you have a search field in top left corner.

If you search seq[T] in system module, you get a list:


search results
    
    system : GC_ref[T](x: seq[T])
    system : GC_unref[T](x: seq[T])
    system : items[T](a: seq[T]): T
    system : len[T](x: seq[T]): int
    system : xlen[T](x: seq[T]): int
    system : pop[T](s: var seq[T]): T
    system : `$`[T](x: seq[T]): string
    system : isNil[T](x: seq[T]): bool
    system : shallow[T](s: var seq[T])
    random : shuffle[T](x: var seq[T])
    system : `==`[T](x, y: seq[T]): bool
    system : add[T](x: var seq[T]; y: T)
    system : `&`[T](x, y: seq[T]): seq[T]
    system : getRefcount[T](x: seq[T]): int
    system : `&`[T](x: seq[T]; y: T): seq[T]
    system : `&`[T](x: T; y: seq[T]): seq[T]
    system : `@`[T](a: openArray[T]): seq[T]
    system : mitems[T](a: var seq[T]): var T
    system : safeAdd[T](x: var seq[T]; y: T)
    system : del[T](x: var seq[T]; i: Natural)

Thanks parashurama, I guess grep will work, but seems a bit awkward for a statically typed language? For instance newSeq is missing from the list above (which btw is strange as seq[T] is in the declaration)

Select:

Group by: "Type"

He, I tried this earlier but dismissed it because it seemed to group by procs, iterators and such. But looking closer at the result, I find what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Hey, I didn't know that trick. Very useful.

Thanks.
