Help plugin broken ?

mdelfede:
I updated to 2789 and help stopped working.
Selecting registered help files does nothing.

Do I miss somethng ?

mdelfede:
ops, no, it's not working only when there's no open project.

Is it a desired behaviour ?

Ceniza:
It is NOT a desired behavior, it's just a side effect of removing some code to implement "always lookup for the word under the caret".

Thanks for reporting it. I'll fix it in a few minutes :)

wow, that's fast !  :lol:

I have one question : I'm building a chm help file for boost, but I have the default help file on wxwidgets help.
Pressing F1 the plugin opens the default help file, of course... is there no way to make it search the word under caret on all help files, maybe providing a pop up when found in more than one ?

Ceniza:
Well... I could make a keyword go through all the help files, but how could I know if it was found or not? It would launch all the help files you have even if the keyword wasn't found in any of those.

Another solution could be adding a key-binding to other help files (using the key binder plugin) but then you'd have to remember the combination for different help files.

An alternative could be adding another shortcut for keyword location that shows a dialog with all the help files listed. You could make a quick selection + enter (or click) to get the help plugin try it there.
