What is keyboard shortcut to close Qt Creator F1 panel?


Press F1 when editing code and get a context help panel. What is the keyboard shortcut for closing the context help panel?

enter image description here

The button that collapses the context help panel is roughly 4x4mm -- a tiny click target. I cannot find a keyboard shortcut for closing the context help in Qt documentation.


Solution

  • To close just the Help pane after pressing F1, press the following keys:

    F1, Ctrl-2
    

    Pressing F1 with the Help pane open opens the help content in the IDE's Help mode which fills the full edit area. Ctrl+2 switches back to the edit mode; the Help pane is closed when you switch back. I tested this in Qt Creator 5.0.3.
