Dash layer
Table of ContentsClose
1 Description¶
This layer integrates offline api browsers into emacs. It provides one for OS X, Linux and Windows.
2 Install¶
To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs
. You will need to
add dash
to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
list in this
file.
3 Word at point¶
dash-at-point
and zeal-at-point
will search for the word at point in the respective offline api browser.
The result will be displayed in the offline browser's UI.
However having to leave emacs to have a look at the search results may be a bit awkward.
To help with this it is also possible to integrate the search results directly in helm
or ivy
and show the details in a browser. To do so helm-dash can be used for helm
and counsel-dash for ivy
.
To get them working it is necessary to set helm-dash-docset-newpath
to the location of your docsets.
(dash :variables helm-dash-docset-newpath "~/.local/share/Zeal/Zeal/docsets")
For more details please check dash-at-point-usage or zeal-at-point.
