Hi,
Based on the discussion about offline help viewers, and interesting point was raised. In the case of DocView (which is setup via the External Tools), I use the ${CurToken} macro to allow docview to do a search - based on where the cursor is positioned.
Now somebody brought up a interesting commend. If the cursor was over an identifier "Visible", to which class does that related. Docview does display the search result in a easy manner, so it shouldn't be too hard to use as-is, but it can be improved.
If I put the mouse cursor over "Visible", it will show me something like
property TButton.Visible
So can somebody that knows how, implement a new ${CurIdentifier} macro which can be used in the External Tools entries. So when I press F1 while the cursor is on "Visible", it will actually pass "TButton.Visible" or "TCombobox.Visible" etc to docview.
Lazarus IDE has all the information because the tooltips display all than information, so for somebody that is in the know, they should find it easy to implement such a new macro, by using similar code as is used in the tooltips. I presume it uses CodeTools.
I don't believe it is needed to add (like in fpdoc) the package and unit name to this identifier (eg: #lcl.buttons.TBitBtn.Visible), but if the person that (maybe) implements this feature request thinks it could be useful, then another separate macro should be added for that.
