Help Plugin feature request

(1/3) > >>

ironhead:
I've got a small request for the Help Plugin.  It would be nice if it would be possible to do a lookup on a URL.  For example, in my SciTEUser.properties file I have help setup for C/CPP files to be:


--- Code: ---command.help.$(file.patterns.cpp)=http://search.msdn.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?siteId=0&tab=0&query=$(CurrentWord)
--- End code ---

Since the MSDN site will typically be the most up-to-date in terms of the win32 api, it seems the logical place to go looking for information.

Cheers!

I like the idea... and I just committed it (rev 2721) :D

Be sure to read Help->Plugins->Help plugin (Description).

Now that is just cool. I have never used the Help plugin, but that feature alone is enough to motivate me to compile it.  8)

Pecan:
I quit using the help plugin long ago because MS .chm's used the evil class MSegotistic_arrogance("stay on top", "we know best") method calls.

But since Ceniza kicked that problem out the door, I use it more and more each day.

Way to go Ceniza!

thanks
