If you look at the top of the reference document, you will see a
small table. The first row is the list of object references that the
object inherits from. Clicking on
any of these will take you to the reference for that superclass.
The second row lists all the protocols that the object conforms to
so you can see which methods
are implemented due to those protocols. The rest of the table shows
you which framework the object is defined in, which header file
defines it and lists other
guides of interest related to the object.
Yes, I know, but that's of limited use. For example, when I'm scanning
the document (or using Find) to learn about scrolling a text view, I
look for something under the Tasks section on scrolling. Oh, I spotted
"display", but that didn't have anything for scrolling. Let's try
searching for "scroll". Nope, the word is used in the rulers section,
but nothing about scrolling the text.
If at least the inherited action names were reproduced in that file, I
would've come across several scroll-related actions. A click could've
taken me to the other doc.
Instead, I have to do multiple searches, potentially in more than one
additional doc to get somewhere. And for some reason, I always forget
to do that, so I go to the list.
