Help dialog by ? on config screen

[abitrolly]

Is it possible to add some help about what different field specifiers means in config dialog?

For example, these are some lines from Heroku logs, and I need to know how to build up a log format string for them without opening a browser page and googling for examples with explanations.

You can always use the man page. e.g.,

# man goaccess

None of my Go tools installed from binary releases come with man pages, so I didn't expect that one. Reading man page is not convenient too, because I need to open another terminal for that and scroll a lot.

Fair enough and appreciated. I'll take a look where I can add that info in the config dialog. Stay tuned for the upcoming version.

@allinurl thanks! While constructing the format string it is also helpful to have a live preview pane showing which parts are currently matched and which are not.
