I'd love to be able to get context-sensitive language/library help in Visual Studio, e.g., highlight the `static class` phrase in my C# program and get help.

IIRC such context-sensitive help used to be in MS dev tools a while ago and so I'm surprised it doesn't exist anymore. Or perhaps it exists and I'm doing something wrong? I'm on VS 2022.

Not sure if this is what you're after, but you should have a light-globe to the left of your currently highlighted line - if you click on that it comes up with several suggestions for things which it can do for you automatically.

@SmartmanApps I believe you're referring to actions, suggestions, and fixes. I'm actually looking for context-sensitive language and library docs.

Ah ok. Yeah I wasn't sure if that was it but thought I'd mention it in case.
