Help Plugin

Help query: "What does the help plugin do?" / "How do I open docs search?" / "What is F1 in Volt?"

The help plugin prompts for a docs question, then opens the Volt documentation search page in an embedded browser split. Default chord is F1. The only intended edit in user/help.rs is that keybind.

Package namehelp
Moduleuser/help.rs

What it does

  • Prompt for a natural-language docs question
  • Build the docs search URL (/volt-docs/search?q=…)
  • Open that URL in a browser split via the help open hook

Notes

Search URL shape matches the VitePress site base: https://samwdp.github.io/volt-docs/search?q=<urlencoded question>. In-editor help uses the same path under the app's docs host.
