Minor Change to Help File (idh_scripting_comref)

Post by GreetingsFromPoland »

hi! would it be possible to change the layout of the Scripting Commands Reference slightly ?
for example, if you replace this :

Code: Select all

<span class="f_Text"> &nbsp; </span>
with this :

Code: Select all

<span class="f_Text"> &nbsp; </span><br>
you can see the before and after here :

before
idh_scripting_comref_after.png
idh_scripting_comref_after.png (53.52 KiB) Viewed 771 times
after

i understand it is larger top-to-bottom; however, at least for me, i find it faster to scan down for the letter and then across for the command.

i also added a single line to the top for A B C D... that hyperlinked to the first command for that letter (not shown in screenshot).

I thought about it and decided that a no-scroll version would be better.

Any way to set a preferred view, like hitting a view button. I think the list may be a better option even if the user has to scroll. It's easier than trying to pinpoint the SC you're looking for in a huge paragraph.

Hey highend. Actually, I do already use your ShowHelpTopics script but not necessarily every time. For the average user who may not, I think the list layout is better for more quickly finding the desired scripting command.
