I rely on the IDE's Quick help feature quite a lot for viewing the parameters of a command/function.

Only problem is, when you type another known command the quick help changes automatically.

Example:
DrawImage(UseImage(blah),10,20)

From the above example the QuickHelp changes to show UseImage()
If I want to refer to the quck help for DrawImage() I have to re-edit the DrawImage() text. Or, press F1 for the Help screen.
That can be a little annoying though. Having to click back to the IDE.

So, how about F2 for quick help only (no external help doc opens)?

Because of this 'feature' I second this idea.

Yes, good idea

I often have to re-type a character of a command, only to check the order of the arguments

Maybe it should be like in jaPBe.

When the cursor is in

Code: Select all

DrawImage(UseImage(blah),#10,20)

#=cursor

The Calltip should display drawimage and f1 should react on drawimage.
