dash contribution layer for Spacemacs
Table of Contents
This layer works only on OS X for the moment
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
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(dash))
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 for more information on customizing specific docsets for modes.

TODO
Check zeal
zeal is an open source alternative to dash with Emacs integration available.
Check helm-dash
dash-at-point is linked to the GUI app and is only available for OSX. Another project, 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.
