  Can I list all class/objects of gtk and functions or browse them ?

  Nice that you ask for permission first. I have no objection against that :-)

  Let us know how you did it, maybe it would be useful for others.

  I described how I use the API in

  http://ssalewski.de/gtkprogramming.html#_nim_api_docs

  We intended to list all the functions and objects on a html page ones, as someone asked for it. But is is clear that such a list is not that helpful, would be around 10k functions and 2k objects. We may do it in the case that the number of really active users should drastically increase. For the current small number the effort and the polution of internet space seems to make not much sense.

  I see , with grep I can come already a long way : I will use something like, egrep -i XXX ~/.nimble/pkgs/gintro-0.8.8/gintro/* | grep YYY

  Let me know when you have good ideas how we can generate fine API docs. I can currently not see something that would work better and faster than plain grep. At least for people familiar with GTK grep should work fine. For people new to GTK learning GTK is very much work, that people maybe better should use one of the other 20 Nim toy GUI toolkits.
