<chapter id="lilydoc"> <title>The &lilypond; Documentation Browser</title> <para> &frescobaldi; has a built-in browser for &lilypond;'s extensive documentation, accessible by clicking on its tab at the right or by pressing <keycap>Meta+Alt+D</keycap>. The browser can display locally installed documentation (e.g. installed in a local directory or via your operating system distribution) or the documentation at the &lilypond; website. </para> <para> &frescobaldi; first searches the &lilypond; documentation on the local system; if it isn't found the documentation pages from <ulink url="http://lilypond.org/doc">lilypond.org/doc</ulink> are shown. You can configure the URL or path to the &lilypond; documentation under &menu.settings.paths;. If you configure a local path, specify it including the <filename>index.html</filename> filename. </para> <para> The documentation browser works just like a normal browser. The Home button brings up the documentation start page. By right-clicking the browser view you can open any page in your default browser. By right-clicking a link in the browser view you can open the link in a new browser or other suitable application. </para> <para> You can also get context-sensitive help by right-clicking a &lilypond; statement in the text editor. The <guimenuitem>&lilypond; Help</guimenuitem> context submenu then displays the relevant entries both from the Learning Manual and the Notation Reference. </para> <para> The other small buttons correspond with the so-called "rellinks" (related links) in the &lilypond; documentation. This way you can easily navigate the documentation or jump to the table of contents, etcetera. (Different versions of the &lilypond; documentation have subtle differences in the navigation.) </para> <para> If you click an image of music that links to a &lilypond; snippet, the snippet is shown in a read-only editor view with LilyPond syntax highlighting. </para> <sect1 id="lilydoc-shortcuts"> <title>Keyboard shortcuts</title> <para> (Click once in the browser view to give it the keyboard focus, by default the keyboard focus remains in the text editor when the browser is opened.) </para> <informaltable> <tgroup cols="2"> <tbody> <row> <entry><para><keycombo><keycap>BackSpace</keycap></keycombo></para></entry> <entry><para> Go back a page in the browser view. </para></entry> </row> <row> <entry><para><keycombo><keycap>/</keycap></keycombo></para></entry> <entry><para> Start entering a short search phrase to search for in the current page. </para></entry> </row> <row> <entry><para><keycombo><keycap>ESC</keycap></keycombo></para></entry> <entry><para> Quit entering a search phrase. </para></entry> </row> <row> <entry><para><keycombo><keycap>Enter</keycap></keycombo></para></entry> <entry><para> When in the search phrase entry, finds the next occurence. </para></entry> </row> <row> <entry><para><keycombo><keycap>Tab</keycap></keycombo></para></entry> <entry><para> Navigate the links in the page. </para></entry> </row> <row> <entry><para><keycombo> <keycap>Arrows / PgUp / PgDn</keycap></keycombo></para></entry> <entry><para> Scroll the page or move the cursor. </para></entry> </row> </tbody></tgroup></informaltable> </sect1> </chapter>
