After clicking that mysterious question mark, Pico's manual for the current version will show, inside code editor-like window, but without highlighting or editing.
This way you won't have to open manual in browser or the notepad if you want to check something. It'll greatly improve workflow.
That would be cool. Wouldn't be too difficult to add either I'd imagine.
I most likely wouldn't use it though. Currently I just keep the documentation docked to the left side of my screen with PICO on the right.
I'd use it tho. I always keep Pico maximized because sprite editing is cumbersome when it only takes small part of the screen.
I like how built-in help would further the on-the-machine dev experience. Some light modern-style IDE integration (help for current keyword, browse, search) would contribute to the old-meets-new aesthetic that's specific to PICO-8.
Though if we want to capture more of the old school, we should be printing out the txt file. 'swhy I'm happy we have a printed zine.
