When I start Allegro Common Lisp an help windows opens, but when I try to obtain help for a symbol the window does not update. I have to delete the window and ask help on a symbol. This is quite tiring and boring. Does anybody know how to solve this problem ?. Thank you.

There are some functions when I make couple of new lines after them, I get this white line between the functions. Does someone know how to fix this? It happens to me a lot, and I searched for this bug on the internet but didn't found any answer.
Thank you in advance.
Go to:
Tools->Options->Text Editor->General
Uncheck "Show Structure Guidlines"
I'm a total beginner in Swift, so I always find the quick help in Swift 2.2, Xcode 7 very useful(You hold down option key and click on something and the Xcode would give you a pop-up window containing all sorts of information about the variable you are clicking on). However, after I updated to Swift 3.0 the pop-up window becomes blank and a message "No Quick help". I'm wondering if someone could tell me how to bring the quick help back, thank you!
This is an Xcode question. Quick Help only works with Swift when you don't have any errors before or in the current line you want to open the Quick Help from.
I also experienced this and it seems this feature worked much better with older Xcode versions. But I guess this has to do with Swift because it is such a fast growing programming language. The integrated interpreter of Xcode isn't able to keep up with it.
To work around it, just comment out all failing lines of code and then comment in one line by one while fixing the errors. Sometimes it is helpful to also clean up the generated project files. And if this also doesn't work, just restart Xcode.
The last step is often necessary when you're in a Playground.
I'm really new at coding with Swift language and developing for iOS and OS X languages in general. So I was writing a simple program, just to get to know some basic features, syntax, etc of the language, and then I got this weird problem in the AppDelegate.swift file of my project:
Then I just tried to make a empty app, and then reinicialize Xcode, but neither of these worked. So I started a blank new project and I just kept having this error. Then I reinstalled Xcode and create new projects, but the same problem hasn`t let me work since then!!
Can anyone help me please? I know it might be ridiculous to fix, but I really don`t know how.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
I also had same problem once and I guess it is some kind of bug in Xcode. I just disabled global breakpoints by toggle global breakpoint state(blue arrow like symbol in lower pane) and then press continue execution.
I am going to be doing the codekata defined on Roy Osherove's blog HERE.
One of the rules is that you cannot use the mouse while doing the kata.
Today, my first attempt at doing the kata I have spent the whole time trying to better understand how to use VS without the mouse. I have learned that CTL-ALT-A will be my friend because I can type commands there.
Does somebody have a pointer to a complete reference to the VS Commmands. I want the command name (Edit.ToggleBookmark), command keystroke (like Ctl-K,K), and any arguments required by the command.
Some specific questons I have.
Does someone know a keystroke for pinning the active window without using the mouse.
Also, I cannot figure out how to add a reference without using the keyboard.
If you can help with those two then I will be significantly farther along.
Thanks.

Just figured out how to add references. I was working on a project that was not saved and Add References command (Project.AddReference) was returning an error...and I thought it was because I was using the command...but it was actually because I had not saved the project yet.
SO.... if you could help me with the window pinning that would be great.
Seth
EVEN WITH ALL THE HELPS FIGURING OUT COMMANDS...I still cannot figure out how to
- pin a Visual Studio window so it stays open.
- And how do you trigger the context menu any a window. For example, solution explorer?
- How do you delete or remove a file?
EDIT
This StackOverflow question answers the context menu question.
Now...if someone can tell me how to pin a window. That would be awesome.

Because it's entirely user definable, I don't think any online reference for keystrokes will do you any good -- I personally have my own keyboard shortcut profile that works best for me.
Therefore, here's the best way to learn every command and its keyboard shortcuts:
Load Visual Studio
Go to the Tools -> Options menu.
Select "Keyboard" in the options list on the left.
Et Voila! Every possible command in VS and its keyboard shortcut (if it's assigned), along with the ability to assign your own. Oh, and search, too!
Kind of an old question here, but for ye olde Googlers/Bingers/SearchaMaTronickistas I thought it might be worth posting the link to the Keyboard Bindings Poster from Microsoft.
I would like to know how to generate help files for an applescript studio application I am currently creating. I have tried many different options of creating help, and googled it for quite some time and cannot find an answer.
When I click on the menu item "Application Help" in my application it opens Help Viewer with an empty window when I attempt to create the help.
I am currently running Tiger with Xcode 2.4.1
I've used HelpLogic by Electric Butterfly for several projects and have never had a problem.
Mac Help Writer
Simple Help Editor
QuickHelp
The applications listed first are the more recently updated.
I personally use Mac Help Writer, and I find it helpful.
Unfortunately these ways haven't worked for me, but thank you for the replies. I have switched my programming languages and don't use applescript studio anymore.
