Maybe I've just missed it but I see no on-the-fly help, documentation what-so-ever providing info on the commands. In particular the "Actions" configuration of the "Types" section takes commands, the names of which I can find in the command list, but there appears to be no documentation on how those commands run.

For instance the Action "FileAction" takes an argument "action=", "ViewText" takes an argument "mode=", all of which appear not to be documented.

    Hi. Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the documentation in gentoo as a whole is sorely lacking, I'm afraid.

    There is some coverage of the command options in the file docs/scratch/command_args.txt, but it's very likely to be incomplete. Sorry for this, it is of course a long-term goal to improve the documentation.

    Moving this down to Prio 4.
