To navigate through the documentation one could use
Hyperlinks
A click on a hyperlink display the corresponding Pod documentation (if there is any) in the same window.
An URL will be displayed in a web browser. A man page will be displayed in a man viewer (if one is
available).
With <Button-2> the documentation is loaded into a new window (<Shift-Button-1> works also for those with
only a 2 button mouse).
Selection
A doubleclick tries to load the documentation for the selected word in the same window.
If the "Shift" key is simultaneously pressed a new browser window is opened.
Keybindings
The Tk::Pod::Text widget is based on the Tk::More widget inheriting its key bindings.
Search
Pressing <Key-/> lets you search in the displayed documentation.
SectionMenu
The Section Menu
The 'Section' menu allows one to directly jump to the start of a section in the documentation.
ActionMenu
If you press the right mouse button you get a popup menu that allows:
o Back
in history of displayed documentation
o Forward
in history of displayed documentation
o Reload
the documentation
o Edit Pod
Start editor with source of the displayed document.
The used editor is selected by the first definition of the environment variables "TKPODEDITOR",
"XEDITOR", "VISUAL", "EDITOR" or as default /usr/bin/vi. If no terminal is available (or on Windows
platforms), the ptked editor (bundled with Perl/Tk) will be used instead.
See also the menu entries 'File' -> 'Edit' and 'File' -> 'Edit with ptked'.
o Search fulltext
Full text search of the Pod in the perl library directories. (Note: to use it one has to install the
perlindex distribution and build an index for the perl documentation, see Text::English)
The remaining menu entries are the same as in normal "Text" widgets.
Treeview
You can toggle the tree view of all installed modules on or off with the 'View' -> 'Pod Tree' menu entry.
The tree view is organized in three sections: Perl language (general documentation about Perl), Pragmata,
and Modules. The labels in the tree are colored, where green means "standard module which comes with the
Perl core distribution", red means "locally installed module, probably from CPAN", and grey means "no
module available, look at the subtree".
The tree data is cached in a temporary directory on a per-perl-version and per-user basis. A reload can
be forced with the Reload entry in the action menu of the tree view. With the Search entry a search in
the tree can be performed. The ShowmodulesatCPAN entry is highly experimental - you can download,
extract and look at the documentation of all CPAN modules.
