Update/add to documentation for controls

Post by readyready15728 »

Took me a little to remember that I can view my current contracts by pressing F5 twice. That (and the primary function of F5) isn't mentioned here:

https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Oolit ... d_Controls

There is a reference sheet on GitHub which does mention this but it's stamped with "Outdated":

https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite ... liteRS.pdf

I'd like to do more than complain at some point BTW. I don't know any Objective-C but I guess documentation could be a start.

A year and a half ago, Phkb produced a new OoliteRS.pdf which he asked for help editing. There have been more changes to v.1.91 since October 2023, so he may well have something for you to help with.

Only the PDF Reference Sheet is outdated. The .odt (LibreOffice) source Reference Sheet file found in the same Doc folder on github is fully up to date.

Plus the odt document is bundled into future releases - if there are any.
The PDF version is there solely because not having it breaks the build.

Actually, just checked and this is not the case. The current pre-release installers contain the outdated PDFs instead of the current ones.
