# Capítulo 6. El sistema de ayuda

Most of KDevelop's strength is accumulated in the Help System. It is also to be understood as an example of how to extend your own KDE application with a complete set of help functionality, and is, in part, already realized in the template applications, so KDE/Qt application framework s generated with the asistente de aplicaciones do already contain the basic functionality for statusbar help and documentation, that only has to be extended by the programmer. This section therefore introduces into the usage of the general help provided within the IDE as well as to show the usage of the Helpbrowser , which, by intelligent use, will make it very easy to get the information you need for development.

# 6.1. The "What's this ?"-Button and Quickhelp

Looking at KDevelop's top toolbar, you will see the "What's this?" button on the right end. By selecting the button, the cursor will change to a pointer with a question mark on the right, as is the same as the button in the toolbar. Now, you can select any visible part of the KDevelop user interface and click on it. This will result in displaying a help-window giving you a short description of the function this part gives you or what it can do for you. Included are the main view, the tree-views and the toolbars, for which every button help is provided. After another mouse click or a keyboard input, the What's this? help window disappears and your cursor is set to the last active position. Mind, that, if you place the mouse pointer over a button, it gets raised and after a short time, you will get a Quick-Tip-window, describing the function the button represents in the menubar; this will disappear if you move the mouse pointer away.

For user interaction dialogs, Quickhelp provides you help windows with a short description of the selected item you want help for. These are accessed by a right-button mouse click to the item, a context-menu pops up that allows the selection of "Quick-Help". Selecting this will pop up the help window. This is always useful for dialogs where you can't see the action's purpose for as long as you are not familiar with KDevelop. Mind that most dialogs offer a Help-button which will show you the detailed context-help for the dialog's options within the provided online-manual in the help-browser.
