When I press F1 in Houdini, it always shows up the homepage of local document (http://127.0.0.1:48626/). How could I make it show the document page of the selected node? For example if I have a PolyBevel SOP selected, I would like it to show http://127.0.0.1:48626/nodes/sop/polybevel [127.0.0.1] instead of just http://127.0.0.1:48626.

Right Click -> Help... works, but F1 doesn't.

Hi,

You can assign this code to a shelf by drag and drop and then assign a global hotkey to that shelf tool:

selNodes = hou.selectedNodes()
if selNodes:
    hou.ui.displayNodeHelp(selNodes[-1].type())
