Help Keyword Substitution
« on: May 21, 2018, 06:03:22 pm »
Settings -> Environment -> Help Files

The "tip" says to use "$$(keyword)" to substitute the word under the cursor.  This does not work on SVN 11400.  What does work is to use "$(keyword)"

Is this a feature or a bug?

Probably it is a bug and probably it is already reported.

What version of C::B and which OS are you using?

The latest Nightly, SVN 11400 64 bit Wx 311, and Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.

Here's what works:

I searched Code::Blocks tickets for "help plugin" and of the six pages of results I did not see this issue.  I'll create a ticket if requested.

This is very similar to ticket 653, also involving $$: The usage information does not match the reality.
