README

Go to various manuals with one click (opens in browser).

VSCode Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rhasan.gotomanual

Github Repo: https://github.com/Rah1x/gotoManual

Features

1] Supporting various Gotos:

• PHP manual for functions only (via PHP.net),
• CSS manual (via developer.mozilla.org)
• Python document search (via docs.python.org)
• Golang search (via golang.org)
• C++ manual (via documentation.help)
• Stachoverflow search via google
• and the good ol google search

This is what it looks like once installed and when you right-click on a piece of code:

2] Editor's active language specific menu only = show only relevant menu. This means if you are working on a PHP file it will show various options related to PHP, but if you are working on a css file it will only show goTo: CSS option. Meanwhile goTo: Google Search is always available.

I will update this later as we go and add more options, but if you have anything in mind (for example if you want another manual, or another file type for one of these languages) just create an issue with the label enhancement at the github repo and I will add it as well: https://github.com/Rah1x/gotoManual

3] Goto:Google search and Goto:stackoverflow search picks up the editor's language and adds it to the searched keyword to make the results more accurate. So if you select and search the keyworld "date" and the editor's language is php the google search will be very specific to php. While if its javascript the search results will be reflecting this language instead.

Special Usage Instructions

1. CSS: For pseudo class or elements, please select the starting colons (:) as well. For example :last-child with the colons instead of just last-child

Requirements

On the first run you would need to add the url base (for example google.com) to the trusted domains.
So when you select any goTo menu for the first time you will see a popup that looks like the following image. Just click on Configure Trusted Domains (only if you see a trusted domain btw).
