For a while, there was this great feature in RubyMate. When you select a term in your script and press control-H, RubyMate would consult ri (or fri or whatever it is) and, if there were multiple alternatives found, would list them all in a little tooltip or popup menu beneath the mouse. So if you said "gsub" you might see Kernel#gsub, String#gsub, and so on. This is a menu so you could click an alternative and do a lookup of that in the help. Very nice.
The thing is, though, that this feature has completely vanished as if I'd only dreamt it. Does anyone know how I can get it back?
Just to answer my own question - made it reappear, apparently by reinstalling fastri *again*. It seems that this feature depends upon fastri and that fastri itself has a mysterious random tendency to vanish from my machine...? m.
