Overview

dash-at-point.el --- Search the word at point with Dash

Dash is an API Documentation Browser and Code Snippet Manager. dash-at-point make it easy to search the word at point with Dash.

Usage

If you choose not to use one of the convenient packages in Melpa, you will need to add the directory containing dash-at-point.el to your load-path, and then add the following to your .emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/dash-at-point")
(autoload 'dash-at-point "dash-at-point"
          "Search the word at point with Dash." t nil)
(global-set-key "\C-cd" 'dash-at-point)
(global-set-key "\C-ce" 'dash-at-point-with-docset)

Run dash-at-point to search the word at point, then Dash is launched and search the word. Use prefix argument C-u to edit the search string first.

Dash queries can be narrowed down with a docset prefix. You can customize the relations between docsets and major modes.

(add-to-list 'dash-at-point-mode-alist '(perl-mode . "perl"))

To choose docsets before call Dash, run dash-at-point-with-docset. The docset options are suggested from the variable

Additionally, the buffer-local variable dash-at-point-docset can be set in a specific mode hook (or file/directory local variables) to programmatically override the guessed docset. For example:

(add-hook 'rinari-minor-mode-hook
          (lambda () (setq dash-at-point-docset "rails")))

Dash 1.9.3 introduces a new way to call Dash with keywords (dash-plugin://), but if you want to use the legacy way (dash://), set non-nil to dash-at-point-legacy-mode.

(custom-set-variables '(dash-at-point-legacy-mode t))
