You should download AppKiDo by Andy Lee. It's quite handy for
browsing the documentation:

Pay attention to which version of the documentation you have
versus the version of AppKiDo you're using. An older version of
AppKiDo, for example, may not know how to properly display newer
documentation if its formatting/structure has changed.
In fact there's a bug now where it's not detecting every single
constant (like NSVariableStatusItemLength). Apple must have made
some tweak to their docs and I didn't notice since AppKiDo was still
meeting most of my (occasional) needs.
Lately I've been itching to do some work on it, so maybe I'll get out
another release some time this century. I'd like to do a major
overhaul if I can find the time, but I may have to settle for
incremental point releases. I keep hoping Apple will adopt AppKiDo's
UI and save me the trouble. But I'd be even happier if they'd
provide a (public) layer of documentation abstraction so I'm not
reduced to scraping HTML. I think there's a lot of conceptual ground
that could be broken in how we approach documentation.
I think the Cocoa docs are fantastic, a joy to use. To me they are
an integral part of the Cocoa development experience, just as the
NextStep docs were. That's why it matters so much to me to be able
to navigate the docs just the way I want.
Thanks for the nod, I.!
