Documentation browser
The Algosim documentation browser is used to display the Algosim documentation. All documentation files are locally available, without a WWW connection.
By pressing F1 you open the documentation for the symbol that is currently found at the caret or keyboard focus. For instance, if the caret is found in the console at si|n, the help topic for “sin” will be opened. Or, if the "π" row in the Identifiers panel has focus, the help topic for “π” will be opened.
You can also press F1 on a particular row in the Tab-key identifier search window.
