# Using the API reference

# Browsing the API reference

For a quick access to the API reference of libraries, anjuta features an integrated API browser. If not already done it can be activated in the preferences (EditPreferences) in GeneralPlugins by choosing the DevHelp plugin.

The API reference has two windows, one for searching for a specific symbol and the browser for viewing the help documents.

# Jump to the API reference using shortcuts in the editor

In case you are unsure how a specific function used in existing code works, simply place the cursor on the function name and use ShiftF1 (or HelpContext-Help) to jump to the documentation.
