Unity Tools Documentation Redirection to Local Manual

Hi all!

I installed VS Code for scripting and was actually quite satisfied.
Then I downloaded the Unity Tools of Tobiah Zarlez, because I saw it features documentation entries for keywords. However these “just” opened the webpage in the browser.

So I thought: gain speed (load times were sometimes long…) by redirecting to the local files instead!
First I tinkered around with firefox extensions, but for whatever reason this would not allow to open files.

So I went for a more direct approach and searched the extenstion folder (found in win7 under user/.vscode/extensions/

The “tobiah.unity-tools-1.0.5/out/search.js” file seemed to be what i searched for and i tried to modify the ‘unity_search’ variable to be “file:///C:/somePath/Unity/Editor/Data/Documentation/en/ScriptReference/30_search.html”, instead of : “Unity - Scripting API:”.
This way all searches would redirect to this location.

However… it doesn’t work.
Anyone has an idea for a fix?

PS. first time in this forum, great community, great answers, happy to be here, sorry if this is in the wrong section! :slight_smile:

Edit: maybe I should add: it doesn’t work bcs. the search query isn’t added. It just opens 30_search.html

so I’ve done some more research and it seems my (non existing) javascript knowledge is the problem: seems like js does not allow access to files for security reasons. But I’m not entirely sure. Someone care to validate this statement so I can stop looking for a solution? :slight_smile:
