<title>Browsing the API reference</title>

<p>For a quick access to the API reference of libraries, anjuta features an
integrated API browser. If not already done it can be activated in the preferences
(<guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui></guiseq>) in 
<guiseq><gui>General</gui><gui>Plugins</gui></guiseq> by choosing the 
<app>DevHelp</app> plugin.</p>

<p>The API reference has two windows, one for searching for a specific symbol
and the browser for viewing the help documents.</p>

<title>Jump to the API reference using shortcuts in the editor</title>

<p>In case you are unsure how a specific function used in existing code works, 
simply place the cursor on the function name and use 
<keyseq><key>Shift</key><key>F1</key></keyseq> (or 
<guiseq><gui>Help</gui><gui>Context-Help</gui></guiseq>) to jump to the documentation.
