Help Menu

The Help menu items can be used to display information on a variety of topics. Each item corresponds to a .html file in the Help folder. The information is displayed in the Help Pane which behaves like a simplified browser.

Keyboard shortcuts

These keyboard shortcuts can be used when the Help Pane has the focus:

• Hit "[" to go back or "]" to go forwards.
• Hit the home key to go to the Contents page.
• Hit the arrow keys or page up/down keys if a scroll bar appears.

Special links

The Help Pane supports a number of Ready-specific links:

• edit:file
  Open the given file in your preferred text editor. A non-absolute path is relative to the location of the Ready application.
• open:file
  Load the given pattern. A non-absolute path is relative to the location of the Ready application. Ready will open the file in your text editor by control-clicking or right-clicking on the link.
• prefs:pane
  Open the Preferences dialog at the given pane. The pane string must be lowercase and must match a known pane: file, edit, view, etc.
