Smarter help window

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 4 kudos within 4 years after posting will be automatically declined.

The problem:

The context help window change size/position automatically according to the context.

It changes size/position faster than one can move the cursor.

It often gets in the way, so that you can't select object, or view selected objects.

 

 

The solution:

1. Before context help window change size/position, it should check the cursor position and the selected object position, never block them.

2. Make the response time configurable.  So experienced user can make the response slower.

I think if we had "1" we wouldn't need "2", but I agree with the intent of the idea. Caveat: Implementation of "1" would need to be pretty slick so as to be more useful than annoying 😊

Too bad.  The other idea doesn't get much support.

 

Seems I've to solve the problem myself again.
