Table of Contents

Description

Dash is great for instant quick access to documentation. Unfortunately it is only available on OSX at the moment. Recommended to set 'HUD mode' in your Dash application preferences when using this. dash-at-point will try to intelligently guess specific docsets to use based off of your current mode. See the documentation dash-at-point for more information on customizing specific docsets for modes.

Install

To use this contribution add it to your ~/.spacemacs

Improving

dash-at-point is linked 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.
