## Description
[dash][] is a great tool for quick access to various sets of documentation.
[dash-at-point][] is the package used to integrate `dash` in Emacs. It will try
to intelligently guess specific docsets to use based off of your current mode.

## Install
To use this contribution add it to your `~/.spacemacs`
```elisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(dash)
"List of contribution to load."
)
```
### Dash
You have to install [dash][] on your machine.
It is recommended to set the `HUD mode` in your Dash application preferences
when using this layer.
See the documentation [dash-at-point][dash-at-point-usage] for more information
on customizing specific docsets for modes.

### Check helm-dash

dash-at-point is linked to the GUI app and is only available for OSX. Another
project, [helm-dash](https://github.com/areina/helm-dash) is in the works.
It appears to currently only be available for linux though, but working towards
mac and windows support. It would be great to supplement or even replace
dash-at-point considering that it doesn't require paying for the app, and
integrates with helm.
