F1 opens the same window as alt+F1.

it would be better to directlly open the content of help file with F1 instead of the "search in help file" popup, and leave alt+F1 as is.

it is just a suggestion.

In fasmw (if we are talking about it) F1 and Alt+F1 are not the same. Try F1 when your caret is inside some keyword (like API function name).

Help file?

TG: i saw that before postin.
but generally, F1 open the table of content of a help file,
fact that alt+F1 open search in help file dialog is very cool indeed.

guignol: help file can be any help file, it is up to the user to choose the better help file, due to the variety of devellopment contexts. for example, a develloper who will learn opengl API and code something with will need a opengl based help file, not a direct X file. and it is the same for every contexts. this feature is really well thinked on that point.
