    Hi
    so Ive been using the qt database to find out what the different keywords and terms do and mean, but is there a site or something that shortly summarizes all the important keywords?
    For example qt Userrole explained, what it does etc.
    On some keywords i just dont find a definite explanation and the qt database is so big and complex it would be nice if there would be some kind of summary
    maybe it exists^^

      @becht Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.
      Are you talking about Qt documentation?
      What are "keywords"?
      What Userrole do you mean?

        There isn't such a "summary". However, in the Qt on-line documentation as terms are introduced/first used (and usually throughout) in a topic they are presented as a green hyperlink, so you just click on them to take you to where they are explained further.

        for example, staring from t.io/qt-5/qlistwidgetitem.html#data you see

        See also Qt::ItemDataRole

        and clicking on the green link takes you to http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qt.html#ItemDataRole-enum, where you come across Qt::UserRole.

        Item data roles themselves are explained in http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/model-view-programming.html, in section Item roles.

        Yes, you have to learn your way around a bit. Some judicious Googling can help! Also, try using: at the top of every Qt documentation page there's an in-built "search box". Typing a word in here searches just the Qt docs for you, which is pretty useful.

          Hi @becht, there is no summary, but it is easy to search for information about them. Open a search engine (such as Google or DuckDuckGo) and enter this: site:doc.qt.io/qt-5/ userrole

          If you are using Chrome or Firefox, there's an extension that makes it easier to search for keywords: https://forum.qt.io/topic/35616/web-browser-extension-for-improved-doc-searches
