##Presentation

This add-on provides a quick way to access documentation for the add-ons you have installed. It creates, in the NVDA Help menu, two sub-menus. One, called "Running add-ons documentation", groups the documentation for each add-on and make available a list of commands for all running add-ons, with a table for each add-on. The other sub-menu, called "Disabled add-ons documentation", lists the disabled add-ons, gaving access to its documentation. Please, remember that the Synth and Braille drivers add-ons will not appear in any of the above categories. Note that you also can access the add-ons documentation through the Add-ons manager in NVDA, Tools menu. Here you have also the information about the state of an add-on. Also remember that you can access the NVDA and add-ons commands in the Input gestures dialog. However, in this dialog the add-ons commands are not grouped and you can not find a command containing "windows", by instance...
