Feature request: Show Help Information

Open thomasbiddle opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Have you searched existing Github issues to see if someone has already requested this feature? Yes

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I am not deleting the original help information so that I can reference it easily. I'd like to get it out of the way, but have an easy way to pull it back up.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Keep the original pre-filled help info on first load as-is; nothing changed there
  • Add a module / tool-tip with the same information; this can be pulled up by clicking on 'Help' and selecting 'Shortcuts/Info' or by hitting ⌘H

Describe alternatives you've considered Don't think necessary; I like my solution

Additional context I'm speaking of this info:

Mine is the same, I can't delete the first block for fear of never remembering how to create a new one! Maybe a button in the bottom bar or a right-click context menu would be helpful

Additionally, the original block is static so doesn't update when shortcuts are added during version upgrade. Being able to pull up this list from the help menu would always have up to date shortcuts.

Similar would be useful for Math.js "sample block", as a quick reference for unit conversions for example.

FYI: I've implemented such functionality in my fork via several ways to get at help.

One is context menu:

There's also a Help button in status bar:

This has been fixed by #242 which adds a dedicated documentation page. A link to this page has been added to Heynote's Help menu and it'll be included in the next release.
