Hi
At first I appreciate your effort to integrate context help in to Qt
Creator. But...
I find current solution of F1 key behavior is cumbersome. When I hit F1
first time then I get (if I am lucky) contest help occupied right site
(1/3?) of the window. Second F1 hit: I get almost whole window with help.
Problems:
1. When I leave help and navigate in code then there is no way to get
back to the help screen (many cases I am hundreds lines of code away
from the place I invoke context help and I still want it).
2. When I hit F1 once it appears in verid mode commonly with horizontal
scroll bar.
3. There is no easy (keyboard) way to get back (from one F1/partial
window mode) to code without lost context help.
4. In two F1/full screen mode shortcuts from Qt Assistant does not work!
5. Is there any way to open two help documents in Qt Creator?!?
To sum up: I think there is no reason to keep this cumber some build in
help in Qt Creator. In my opinion far better will be good integration
with Qt Assistant via local socket (unix socket or local pipe on WinDos)
- hidden by QLocalSocket and QLocalServer. The only thing which can be
restricted by system (or system specific) is to raise Qt Assistant from
background. But I have solution for windows based on local socket and
sending raised window handle via local socket - I can share this piece
of code if you want.
best regards
