Description
Qt creator currently does not give any result when pressing "F1" for any C / C++ standard library functions.
I do understand that the Qt project will not create an own documentation for these libraries. I also do understand that it might be hard to ship a set of thirdparty documentation as noted in QTCREATORBUG-1992 .
However I believe that providing simple access to at least some kind of help via "F1" is a key feature for a modern C++ IDE. Other IDE's have this feature, partially linking to online resources which are then displayed inside the IDE.
I am aware that there is a qch package for cppreference.com here: https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Creator_Documentation_Gallery , however this does not implement F1 help. Maybe consider to extend this package in a way that F1 help is possible with it? Maybe consider to ship this package then together with Qt creator (if the site owners agree)? Maybe consider to link to a page like cppreference.com directly?
