Note: Help buttons normally appear on dialogs/wizards and apply to the current panel. Any Swing component in the GUI (and also many indirectly displayed objects, e.g. Explorer nodes, etc.) can have a HelpCtx, so F1 works on them. In the future there will be a toolbar button for a help cursor to make this more visible. Many things actually already have help IDs but they are not mapped to anything. I think it isn't sunstainable, we can't provide help for everything ;( reassigne to usersguide Closing the issue. Now almost all dialogs have "Help" buttons that are mapped to specific help topics. If a particular topic is missing, a separate issue must be filed. |
