Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: g++ OS: Linux One feature I would like in KDevelop is the ability to view HTML docs while also viewing source code. I know this is possible in ChildFrame mode, but I prefer IDEAl mode. By putting the documentation in a dockwindow, it would be possible to see it always and hide it when necessary. Also, could provide a "Smart" feature where the page automatically changes to show the HTML for the class under the cursor (using the CLASS STORE database). This "Smart Documentation" would be designed to aid a developer and would not provide an index/contents like the current doc-parts. It would simply display the QT and KDE API documentation, and maybe the user's project documentation. I would have an attempt at implementing this, but would like some feedback as to whether you guys think its a good idea first. I don't want to tread on anyone's toes as there are already two documentation parts in HEAD already - do we need another one? Maybe the current doc-part could be extended to provide this feature? Maybe it is not practical to have a "HTML page" in a dock-window (if not KHTMLPart, could do a simple KTextBrowser?)? I'm not sure but would be willing to investigate :)
I think "Look in documentation" is close to your "smart documentation". It looks for keys in documentation index. If Qt and/or KDE documentation index is enabled, and, for example, Qt class is looked in index, you should only press enter to go to the class documentation.
With the ability of KDevelop-3.4's UI to split views, this is sorta implemented now. It's quite possible to have code and documentation side by side.
in kdev4 we have area's for this, so you can have multiple mainwindows showing documentation and code. Fixed for me.
