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.

helm-dash

dash-at-point is linked to the GUI app and is only available for OSX. On linux, helm-dash is used instead. It requires no app. You can use dash/helm-dash-docset-newpath to set the location path of your docsets.

TODO
