	This enables the user to view the help for current activity in the current locale within the activity itself. The user doesn't need to go to Help activity and find the help page for the current activity. He/she can press ~~Ctrl~~+Shift+H and if there is help content for the current activity, it will pop up a window with the help content in it. This is similar to the view source pop up window in activities. If there is not help content for that particular activity, it will write an error message in the log. If help content in current locale is not available and if they are available in English, it will display the help content in English.

	== How To Test ==		== How To Test ==
	~~Apply the code at~~ https://github.com/~~callkalpa~~/sugar/~~tree~~/~~activity_help~~		I have already sent a pull requets (https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/114). This feature needs some modifications to be made in Help activity as well. Those modifications will be available from Help 17 onwards which is to be released soon. Once you have Help 17 and the diff is applied to sugar,

			1) Open an activity like Browse, Read
			2) Press ctrl+shift+h, a window should pop up with the help content for that particular activity (only if the help content for that activity is already there in Help activity)

	== User Experience ==		== User Experience ==
	~~''If~~ this feature is ~~noticeable by its target audience~~, ~~how~~ will ~~their experiences change as~~ a ~~result? Describe what they will see or notice~~.''		It will be convenient for the users to have the ability to view the help of the current activity within the activity itself. Otherwise the user has to load Help activity and search for help for that particular activity. Since help/support is something that is spread system wide, it is better we make it available wherever possible rather than keeping it as a separate activity. Since this feature enables to view in the current locale (only if the content is available in the current locale in Help activity), it will be more helpful for the users to read and unsderstand the content in a language that is more convenient to them.

	== Dependencies ==		== Dependencies ==
	~~''What other packages (RPMs) depend on this package? Are there changes outside the developers' control on which completion of this~~ feature ~~depends? In other words, does your feature depend on completion of another feature owned by someone else or that you would need~~ to ~~coordinate, which might cause you~~ to be ~~unable~~ to ~~finish on time? Other upstream projects like Python?''~~		This feature needs some modifications to be made to Help activity. The modifications required are to be due to be included in Help 17.

	== Contingency Plan ==		== Contingency Plan ==
	~~''If you cannot complete your feature by the final development freeze, what is the backup plan? This might be as simple as "~~None ~~necessary, revert to previous release behaviour~~.~~" Or it might not. If your feature~~ is ~~not completed in time, we want~~ to ~~assure others that other parts of Sugar will not~~ be ~~in jeopardy~~.''		None. The code is complete and waiting to be reviewed.

	== Documentation ==		== Documentation ==
	''Is there upstream documentation on this feature, or notes you have written yourself? Has this topic been discussed in the mailing list or during a meeting? Link to that material here so other interested developers can get involved.''		[[http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/GSoC/2013/ActivityHelp]]

	== Release Notes ==		== Release Notes ==
	~~''The Sugar Release Notes inform end-users about what is new in~~ the release. An Example is [[0.84/Notes]]. The release notes also help users know how to deal with platform changes such as ABIs/APIs, configuration or data file formats, or upgrade concerns. If there are any such changes involved in ~~this feature, indicate them here. You can also link to upstream documentation if it satisfies this need. This information forms the basis of the release notes edited by~~ the ~~release team and shipped with~~ the ~~release~~.''		Supports viewing help for the current activity in the current locale inside the activity itself.

	== Comments and Discussion ==		== Comments and Discussion ==

	* ''Link to the discussion of this feature on lists.sugarlabs.org''
	* See [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}\|discussion tab for this feature]] <!-- This adds a link to the "discussion" tab associated with your page. This provides the ability to have ongoing comments or conversation without bogging down the main feature page. -->
