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.
Ah, I see what you mean... whereas the Java docs show the actual
inherited methods and such on the subclass's doc page. I usually
search in the Xcode window and do it that way, so I guess I didn't
really think about it.

Check out AppKiDo, it will show the inherited methods.
