Monodevelop Scripting API search help

An article by mgear    No Comments

You can assign F1 key as Unity scripting API search in MonoDevelop:

– Tools / Options
– Key Bindings
– First remove F1 key from Help, assign some other key for it like control+F1
– Then assign F1 for the Unity API Reference
– Done! Now in Monodevelop, when your press F1, the keyword at cursor position is automatically searched from unity scripting docs (opens in new browser)

* Other useful keybindings: Find References & Go to Declaration (I usually map those to § and ctrl+§ keys, instead of the default F12’s)

** Sometimes searching is bugged, like in “GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();”, if your cursor is at NavMeshAgent it tries to search whole GetComponent<>.., then have to select with mouse the NavMeshAgent and press F1.
