I have one request, and that's one that fbar wrote about a while back.
Is it possible to make the help menu keyboard-navigable? That would ease a lot of pains in using it.

So I am in the midst of rewriting the Help Browser to make it based on which libraries are installed and usable, i.e which libraries can be found in the global path. For me, the key part is making it dynamically built and based on the libraries that are in use. I don't have a strong idea of other parts.
The idea is to make it based around the libdir/dirlib approach of having all files for a library in a single folder with a standardized but easy structure. Here's a basic outline of that structure as it stands now:

Right now, I am thinking that the top level of the help browser will have special sections for the classic pd-vanilla docs (1.manual, 2.control.examples, etc.) another special section for tutorials of any kind, then all of the libraries and stray help patches found in the path.

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. - Thomas Jefferson
