Open programming manual when right mouse-clicking on keyword
Submitted by xandrani on Monday, 19 April, 2010 - 17:54
It would be great if somehow a right mouse-click (i.e. context menu) would allow an option to go direct to a relevant programming manual.

e.g. If I'm editing a PHP file and I right mouse-click on file_get_contents() then the entry for that function in php.net is opened in a web browser. This functionality currently exists in other text editors. It would really make things easier. A similar thing for C or C++ and other languages would of course be great too.

Another cool idea would be so that when the user hovers over a library function a large tooltip appears showing the definition of the function and a one line description of what it does.

Apologies if this is already implemented somehow... I could not find it if it is.


Another idea is that feature requests and bugs should be all on sourceforge. It would seem more sensible.

Thanks again to all people involved in creating jEdit... I'm loving it Smiling

Feature requests and bugs *are* all on SourceForge ( http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=588 ). That's why the related forums here are somewhat dummies.
