The Quick Help menu is a handy tool for quickly getting access to important information about a code object or class. In this video, explore the Quick Help menu and learn how to use it to quickly navigate the documentation.
- [Instructor] The quick help menu provides quick access…to the documentation.…So, let's say I'm working in my view controller class…and I want to know more about this NSViewController class.…If I click right in there,…you'll see it populates the quick help menu.…Remember you'll have to show the inspector's area…and then click on the quick help button in the inspector bar…to see it.…Once you've done that, you can read the documentation,…straight from within the Xcode interface.…
If you want more information you could simply click the link…to open this in the developer documentation.…And then you're taken right there.…So for quick help all you need to do…is find an object in your code, click on it.…You'll see its information and you can read about it…right within Xcode.…
