request: help window links open in new window/browser #6

Closed liuboto closed 12 years ago

when working on a small resolution, e.g. while projecting in mirror mode, the help window is way too tiny and awkward to resize. it would be nice to be able to open a help window link in a separate browser window. right clicking on a link in os x already lists the option to 'open in new window' which right now has no effect. my guess is this is some standard webkit published service action.

alternatively, it may be nice to be able to double click somewhere in the help window and have it zoom to the entire canvas space, the way this now happens with the field canvas.

another posibility would be to tab the help window on the text editor side. for a small screen wi would probably prefer a two column layout with an easy switch between text editor and help and a narrow properties column like it is now, rather than a three-column layout where both the left and the right side are pretty wide.

Fixed in HEAD ("open in new window" now works). If you "close" the left hand side panel (by double clicking on the divider) you can swap between left/middle and middle/right two column setups with a double click on the canvas.
