I also use the online docs a lot, but I rarely edit the URL. Instead, I use the Qt Doc Search browser extension for Chrome/Firefox: https://forum.qt.io/topic/35616/web-browser-extension-for-improved-doc-searches (Disclaimer: I wrote this extension) I activate the URL bar and type [q] + [d] + [space] + <Qt Class Name> + [Enter] If Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or DuckDuckGo's "Ducky" are enabled, you'll be taken straight to the class reference page. > One > little thing is annoying me, the '.html extension. > Wouldn't it be great if instead the url would be 'doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget'. > That is shorter to type and easier to navigate to a class you know the > name of.

I don't feel strongly either way, but the final solution should be consistent across all pages, not just C++ classes. What do you propose for URLs like these?: * https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget-members.html * https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-item.html > Of course to avoid breaking search engine, bookmarks, ... the url with > '.html' would have to redirect to the one w/o. (Off-tangent: The online docs broke things a few years ago when they stopped supporting CamelCase. https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/QWidget.html used to work, but now it gives Error 404... ) > Any thoughts? > > Chris Thanks for thinking of new ways to improve the docs!
