LabVIEW Idea Exchange
LabVIEW Help is painful to use for 21st century users.
When you click on a link in a Help page, you are sent to that page, and so on and so forth,
This means that when you are done with reading the many tidbits you did not know or forgot about, you have to use the Back arrow as many times as you have progressed in your branching search:
That's so 2000 (at best)!
This problem of having a single window/tab is of course not limited to the Help application (see the countless requests for improvements of the Search and other windows) but the Help files are fundamentally HTML files, so you would expect that the amount of work for the custom browser that the Help application is using would be negligible.
My suggestion: Offer an option to "Open in New Tab" and "Open in New Window" right-click options for links in Help pages.
Or purely and simply drop the Help application and use the default browser instead.
