Hello,
can tools'
"Help" option in the context menu be changed to use
`ToolInstance.display_help` instead of running the
`help` command? I'd like to keep most of my
documentation on GitHub. The `help` command cannot
open URLs, so I thought I'd overwrite my tools'
`display_help` methods to use `open` instead. However,
I discovered this method isn't used anywhere.
I've tried
changing `_show_context_menu` in chimerax.ui.gui
(around line 2087) to
`help_action.triggered.connect(ti.display_help)`. It
seems to behave the same for all built-in tools.
I understand
there might be reasons to not do this (e.g. users might
not be able to connect to the internet). I'd like to
keep stuff on GitHub because I can make a page on a
GitHub wiki page faster than an HTML doc. Regardless
of how tools' help pages get shown, I'd like to have
examples of what my bundle can do on the GitHub wiki.
To that end, my GitHub wiki could serve a dual
purpose: a showcase and documentation.
Best,
Tony
