Hello devs & doc devs, I would like to see somehow introduced, along with the traditional read all at once, a better way to consult documentation: contextual help.
It seems complex but really, with our asciidoc documentation system it's not that difficult to implement. One just have to set "link targets" in form of [[this_text]] (it should be one_word) after every relevant part of the manual (usually a chapter title, just after the title, with the same text) and then use those links in the program to open the contextual page in a browser using an address like for instance: file://local-docs-dir/version/lang/manual-section#this_text or https://docs.kicad.org/version/lang/manual-section#this_text Obviously the program should have a special key to fire it. See as an example The GIMP: - standard help: F1 - contextual help: Shift+F1 With KiCad would be: - standard help: F1 - list hotkeys: Ctrl+F1 - contextual help: Shift+F1 BTW: KiCad default F1 to 'Zoom in at cursor'. I would redefine it to a more "standard" open help like a lot of other programs like GIMP, LibreOffice etc. -- Saluton, Marco Ciampa -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-doc-devs Post to : kicad-doc-devs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-doc-devs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
