Description aplatypus 2018-06-29 05:20:56 UTC
I have installed KDevelop on Windows 10.  I am just getting started.  I wanted to see what the command line options were.  There is a little pop-up but it won't let me copy the text can I can look at it. (That's another story).

I pressed F1 for help and I had that annoying Windows app store pop-up saying I need an application to read this file.  BUT, being Windows, it did Not tell me What file it was trying to read.

In contrast I have also installed KATE on this PC.  When I press Kate's F1 I go to a web page.

  - https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/applications/kate/index.html

So I know the basic mechanism works. It KDevelop also a web page?

I think, in general, it would be good for these menu items ot show a tooktip with the name of the resource it uses.  And for bonus points such a tool tip CAN support a right-mouse-click option to COPY hte path/URL to the resource.  That would be very handy.

Anyway I used Choco (Chocolatey) to install Kate, KDevelop and Ockular.  I figured either way I'd have the help covered.

Once last question -- can you say where to look for the KDevelop help page?

Many thanks and kind regards.
