I would like a search function on the Runtime documentation or the Client api documentation. Or otherwise a more complete explaination/overview of all the usefull mendix specific java and javascript possibilities I could use when making my own widgets and java actions.

My motivation is that I am currently spending alot of time going through all these list to find if specific functions already exist. Furthermore, the explaination in the documentation is sometimes not very elaborate. For example there is a stop and start transaction functionality, but I cannot quickly find any information on what this java function exactly does.

The documentation site is actually pretty good but I would like to have a shortcut from the modeller when a use specific function in a microflow. When I type

substring(

and I press F1 I would like to go to this page.

I admit: it is just for convenience.
