For any functions in a procedural language like plpgsql, it makes it pretty useless today. But when viewing an internal or C language function, it's short enough and still actually useful. Maybe some combination where it would keep showing those for such language, but would show "use \sf to view source" for procedural languages? -- Magnus Hagander Me: https://www.hagander.net/ <http://www.hagander.net/> Work: https://www.redpill-linpro.com/ <http://www.redpill-linpro.com/>
