justbur 6eab954afe Use + instead of ! for layer categories 
Helm seems to treat "!" specially in pattern matching, so having a ! in
the pattern string when traversing directories is problematic. This
change fixes #2737, because as far as I can tell "+" has no special
meaning in a helm pattern.

Of course, we can choose a different character, but I'm fond of "+" as
representing "more layers here".

dash-at-point is linked to the GUI app and is only available for OSX. On linux, you can use zeal-at-point which is linked to the GUI app too, but it's open source.

Or you can use helm-dash instead, it requires no app. You can use dash/helm-dash-docset-newpath to set the location path of your docsets.
