I am developing cross-platform desktop applications and I recently discovered the joy of using widget help text. Then the user has a question mark button in the title bar, and after he clicks on it, he can click on any widget in the window and see the help text about it. Very nice.
Since I believe that all programs should be fully used with the keyboard without touching the mouse, I found that Windows F1opens help text for the widget with the current focus. Pretty nice so far.
But ... is F1almost always used for the application help screen. So, we are faced. What should I do? Is there perhaps another key combination for opening text prompts?
