Feature request: linking to terraform documentation

This one is a feature request. It would be nice to be able to press shift+F1 on a resource (and maybe even data, backend, provider, etc) and have it take you to straight to the Terraform docs. This feature is called External Documentation in the keymap. It’s supported pretty well for Java and Python methods.

Example:

resource "aws_instance" "my-machine" {

Putting the cursor on aws_instance and hitting shift+F1 would take you here.

Another nice-to-have would be ctrl+q, or Quick Documentation. This pops up a window right in the IDE.

I’m not sure whether Terraform has enough metadata about the resources to make this possible. Keeping a manual list of URLs would not be fun. Either way, this is on my wishlist 😃

I just installed version 0.7.15 and it works, BUT it appends .html to the webpage which breaks the link as the TF Registry docs don’t support the .html

This would be so helpful! Terraform docs are difficult to navigate and locate (especially for AWS, where I have to scroll for days to find anything), so being able to jump right to the documentation would save a lot of time
