15 <title>Using the API reference</title>
18 <title>Browsing the API reference</title>
20 <p>For a quick access to the API reference of libraries, anjuta features an
21 integrated API browser. If not already done it can be activated in the preferences
22 (<guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui></guiseq>) in
23 <guiseq><gui>General</gui><gui>Plugins</gui></guiseq> by choosing the
24 <app>DevHelp</app> plugin.</p>
26 <p>The API reference has two windows, one for searching for a specific symbol
27 and the browser for viewing the help documents.</p>
32 <title>Jump to the API reference using shortcuts in the editor</title>
34 <p>In case you are unsure how a specific function used in existing code works,
35 simply place the cursor on the function name and use
36 <keyseq><key>Shift</key><key>F1</key></keyseq> (or
37 <guiseq><gui>Help</gui><gui>Context-Help</gui></guiseq>) to jump to the documentation.
