SublimePeek - quick access to help for functions

[francescob]

hi, last solution doesn't seem to work, i'm still getting the documentation from the system ri. I guess i can work this around by installing the library i want the documentation for also to system ruby, but unfortunately as you also said we can have documentation only for one version of ruby in this way

[francescob]

Ok, i've found the solution and it was right there from the begging, i just needed to run ri without any arguments to find out that...:

Code: Select all

By default ri searches for documentation in the following directories:
(...)
/$HOME/.rdoc
(...)


so i just put all the documentation i care of there and it works...
only thing to modify in the script for this to work is to add the --home flag

I have updated the plugin with a number of new features:
- Added support for JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, and Stata
- Improved Python support
- Overview of all available help topics based on the familiar ST2 quick select panel
(the same as the command panel, or the one for jumping from project to project)
- Help files are now downloaded and compiled in the background
- Bug fixes


francescob, I have revered the non-working solution with the shell=true argument. I could still add an option that sets the ri path so that you don't have to overwrite default Ruby. You should go back to the main channel through Package Control. I am not sure how updating works when you installed the plugin manually from the dev branch.

Great plugins!!!
is there any way to add keyboard shortcut for closing popups?

esc ?

[vitaLee]

@francescob that's how you close sublime dropdown dialog, while i was referring to the actual popup displaying the doc snippets.
not sure if you got my point right.
im using v2181 and cant dismiss the popup with ESC.

Hi, are you using Mac OS X 10.6? My experience is that you can close the quicklook window from the package with esc or space on 10.7. I tried 10.6 once and it didn't work that way. If that is the case, I can try to fix it but not before sometime next week...

Hi, yes i'm running OSX 10.6.8.
thanks.

Firstly, you can pass a "packages.json" (or similar) to Package Control which will allow installation only from Mac OS.

Then, I'd love to be able to use something like this on Windows. I've been searching for this (not actively, but I have) and even considered to make it on my own, even though I clearly don't have the time.
Drop me a message here, contact me on github or whatever. I'm open to testing and I know (some) package developing, but I'm also fine with testing ;)
