Turning Logic Pro's "Help" window into a non-floating window

Recommended Posts

Logic Pro uses OSX's Help Viewer to display a local version of the manual (Help menu > Logic Pro Help). The Help Viewer uses a floating window by default so that it is always in front of all other windows (including Logic's).

 

If you don't like having this window floating above all other windows forcing you to minimize it or to close it, use this handy command from the Terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal):

 

defaults write com.apple.helpviewer DevMode -bool true

 

Next time you open the help viewer, it will no longer be a floating window and you'll be able to send it to the background and access it from the dock.

 

To revert to the floating window, use this variation of the command:

 

defaults write com.apple.helpviewer DevMode -bool false
