Despite adding an external URL to the JavaDocs of my installation of the Scala 2.10.4 SDK library in IntelliJ 15.0.1 (Project Settings → Global Libraries → scala-sdk-2.10.4 → JavaDocs ) [see Screenshot below], the small blue arrow that (should) refer to external documentation in the documentation viewer ( [F1] ) is not related to external Scala documentation, the remaining ones are grayed out instead. There is also no keyboard shortcut for viewing external documentation ( [Shift]-[F1] ). How do I link external ScalaDoc SDK API documents so that I can quickly open online documentation (locally or on scala -lang.org, it doesn’t matter) for the content that my cursor is enabled in the IntelliJ editor in the browser?

Unfortunately, this is another great feature for the Scala plugin: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/SCL-5550
It was added 4 years ago and commented on as a quick implementation - perhaps pursuing JetBrains for implementation
