Yeah, of all the popular C++ tookits listed in the site, my personal "favorite" is wxWidgets (favorite in quotes because i do not really like it, it is just the one i found myself being more comfortable with). We're using Qt at my current job and while i'm ok with it, i still like working with wxWidgets more than Qt (even if Qt is certainly more polished). I found documentation fine with both toolkits, although i really like that wxWidgets's docs are in CHM format so i can quickly search and scan them locally with a handy tree of contents at the side. With Qt i have to use the online docs and searching goes through Google which slows things down (...there might be some offline docs at the Qt site to download, but i couldn't find it).

Qt Assistant(Offline doc browser) comes with Qt. You can also use Zeal(supports offline docs for JS/HTML/CSS/TS/Vue/..., OpenGL, Qt, and many others)

  It does, but it doesn't contain the Qt documentation. It only has documentation for itself. It might be that something is missing, i just cannot figure out what.

    You are missing some documentation packages or they somehow went missing from the index. You can add them (.qch files) in the settings menu of Assistant.

    Look for qt-doc as separate package in your distro. It's size 30Mb, so many distro split it into dedicated package.

    If you install Qt through the installer (which would be the main way of getting it on Windows), your installation should have a "Docs" folder containing HTML files. Many Linux distros package it separately, e.g. on OpenSuSE it's in "libqt5-qtdoc" and its subpackages.

      I didn't installed Qt myself, it is part of the repository (gamedev, we put everything in the repository :-P). Perhaps i'll try to install the same version of Qt somewhere separately and see if the docs are there.
