Better LabVIEW Help: use F1 to go to the topic

Status: New

instead of using the right-click context menu / using ctrl+H and then selecting help,

use F1 to go to the topic

 

 

Kudos always welcome for helpful posts 🙂

I had always thought this is the way it should have always worked. I just assumed NI had a good reason years and years ago not to make it work this way. Would be interested in getting any details.

thanks PaulG  for your comments.

this way of opening help is much faster i think. if there's no topic available in the help file, then 'TOPIC NOT FOUND' can be displayed.

right now F1 just opens the help file, and doesn't make any sense if its not opening the right topic in it.
