Opening help docs with SCTextView
I just noticed that cmd-d on a string in TextView opens up the default Help.help presumably because the main App hijacks all cmd keystrokes.
Would it be a good idea to add a default keyDownAction to SCTextView like:
( w = Window.new.front; t = TextView(w.asView,Rect(10,10, 380,200)) .focus(true) .string_("SinOsc"); t.keyDownAction = {arg view, char, mod, uni, key; if (mod == 393475 && uni== 4) {view.string.openHelpFile} } ) so that ctl-shift-d will open the help doc of the selected string?
This is mostly with regard to using the Help browser which I dig except for this missing feature.
Would this be too difficult when accounting for different keyboards/OSs?
I can add it easily enough on my own system, but it seems like it might be of value to everyone.
Thanks,

Nope, at least it shouldn't. It only opens main help if it can't find a file named after the string. The Help browser uses a TextView in fact. This is true for Cocoa at least. Probably should be done for Swing as well on OSX in the browser.
Crossplatform/editor would be a little tricky to account for...

Re: Opening help docs with SCTextView
hmm,
I'm using Cocoa, and cmd-d on SinOsc in the Help browser brings up Help.html. Cmd-j works fine. Weird. Ill try updating.

Re: Opening help docs with SCTextView
Just tried it on another machine with v.3.3RC and the same problem occurs. Cmd-d on any class in the Help browser brings up the main help. -mgc On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 3:51 AM, Michael Cox <michael.gardner.cox@...> wrote:

Re: Opening help docs with SCTextView
Doesn't happen for me - Cmd-D on the text "SinOsc" in the text window
of the help gui brings up the SinOsc helpfile. I'm on ppc, OSX
10.4.11. What os are you on?

Yes, it works in a normal doc, and like I said, cmd-j and cmd-y seem to work fine.

Re: Opening help docs with SCTextView
Okay, I just tried it with the last RC and for whatever reason that does seem to be the case, but it's fine with latest svn.
There should be a new RC tonight, so try with that and report back.
