Visual Studio (Mac) not searching for documentation in Hub paths

Question

In Visual Studio, when I use Cmd+' to bring up the Unity docs, it always goes straight to the web, rather than using my local copy. This isn't the case from Unity itself, which nicely loads my local docs. This is a problem when I'm coding on-the-road.

The issue seems to be that it's always looking for local documentation in /Applications/Unity/Documentation, even though the Hub-installed location is /Applications/Unity/Hub/Editor/2019.1.0f2/Documentation

I verified that if I make a symlink /Applications/Unity/Documentation -> /Applications/Unity/Hub/Editor/2019.1.0f2/Documentation then the local docs get picked up, but that defeats the purpose of having multiple parallel installations of different versions.

Fresh install of Unity 2019.1.0f2 (Mac) with Visual Studio for Mac 7.7.3, installed via Unity Hub.

Hmmm ... If I update VisualStudio to v8.0.3 then I see more controls in the settings for the Unity plugin, including a preferred location to pick up the documentation. Okay, I guess this is solved :)
