Creating Help Files - Applescript Studio - xcode

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.

Unity2020.3.9f1c1 Hold On(busy for 03:29)

This thing is a bit annoying.
How do I get rid of it.
Whenever I open a project and open a C # file in Visual Studio.
First, a dialog box will appear saying that Visual Studio is being opened.
Then this dialog box will always be displayed.
And it won't go away.
I could just ignore it and continue with Unity.
But it's still a little annoying.
This is not a very serious problem.
But it's really annoying.
I searched Google for a long time and couldn't find the answer.
I hope someone can give me some hints.
Disable Compress Assets on Import for faster loading.
Unity Documentation
And move project to a SSD or M.2
I changed the project name from Chinese to English.
Now the problem is solved.
This was not an issue in previous 2019 versions of Unity.
So I think it's a bug.
Make sure your project path and project name contains only English letters, this should help.
I had the same issue on Unity 2020.3.35f1. This helped me out.

Swift 3.0 quick help option key

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.

AppDelegate unknown issue that allows to build app but then crashes it, how to fix?

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.

How do I fix value cannot be null Parameter name: typeName when opening XAML file?

We are using Silverlight 4 (we must use it. :p ) with VS2010. AFAIK we have the proper toolkits and SDKs installed.
When we try to open a XAML file, we are immediately presented with an error dialog that says: "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: typeName". The designer does not load. There is no output in the output window, there are no build errors.
We are at a complete loss on what to do.
This does only affect some of our workstations. We are in a controlled enviorment and reinstalling VS2010 is not really an option. Again :p
Thanks!
I've had similar dialog boxes pop up when I have had reference issues in the xaml but not with that exact text. I would verify that all the refferences are in the correct location and that they are the correct version.
This seems to be an issue specific to our corporate environment. MS support has been helping us for several days now. They don't seem any closer to a solution than we were.
Good luck to anyone here with the same question.

Visual Studio - how do you use it without touching your mouse?

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.

edit
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.
