Patrick Burleson: Put them in the Favorites category. OmniWeb will assign them ⌘1–9 automatically, according to whatever order you have them in.

@peter — Maybe it was option — My fingers know where it is (!)

I like the idea of the research assistant better than the implementation. Even on relatively powerful, modern, hw it put little annoying delays as you cursor around so I usually turn it off.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve been struggling with having several Xcode projects open and Cmd-` to try and find the doc window. This will help a lot.

Although I can’t seem to figure out where to assign keyboard shortcuts to bookmarks in OmniWeb. Is it a preference? On the bookmark itself?

You mean Option, right? (I never use it.) ⌘-double-click takes you to its definition, or its declaration if you’re already looking at the definition.

Xcode also has a Research Assistant floating panel. I like the idea, but have found it distracting in practice. Maybe I should give it a keyboard shortcut.

This is really a clever idea — The only gap is you end up with both this and apples viewer (well for me at least) because I depend so much on cmd-double click to bring up docs for a method..
