I really didn’t know about this link. I’ve always gone through the ADC. And :slight_smile: to be honest I’ve found that to be a little bit quircky. But those days are gone!
And therefore there is a possibility that some of you don’t also.
Therefore ahem. I take the liberty of posting it here. :slight_smile:
This is the link with the red carpet below do you ask me.

http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/navigation/index.html

Found it over at Scott Anguish’s new site: http://abandoninplace.squarespace.com/

FWIW, Help → Developer Documentation in Xcode shows you much the same thing.

#3

There is a nice reference search app named AppKiDo.

Cocoa Browser Air is also available, but to me, seems less useful.

#4

And the best thing about AppKiDo IMO is that it lets you list the methods of a class both with and without inherited methods.

#5

Couldn’t agree more! Biggest gripe I had when learning to read Apple’s docs was traversing up the tree to find a method.

#6

Yep – it brought back bad memories of the early days of Script Editor…

In Xcode (Objective-C) I’m using option-doubleclick on a highlighted term to discover its information in the documentation. This is the quickest way

#8

It is in Objective-C code, but not necessarily in ASObjC code. That’s because double-clicking extends the selection if there’s a trailing underscore or apostrophe. So if you have, say, “applicationShouldTerminate_”, even if you select the text without the underscore, double-clicking selects it. Similarly, if you have, say, “NSSound’s”, a selection of NSSound alone changes the selection to include the “'s” when you double-click.
