• Supports docsets generated using popular tools like Appledoc and Doxygen.
• Methods are conveniently shown in a special Table of Contents.
• Highlighted in-page search.
• Save bookmarks of your most used documentation pages.
• Create search profiles to easily switch between docsets.
• Easily search specific docsets by defining keyword filters (e.g. start your query with "python:" to search only the Python documentation).
• Integration plugins for: Xcode, Alfred, Quicksilver, LaunchBar, Coda, Espresso, PopClip, Sublime Text, Atom, Chocolat, Emacs, Vim, BBEdit, TextWrangler, TextMate, Eclipse, AppCode, Android Studio, IntelliJ Idea, RubyMine, WebStorm, PhpStorm, PyCharm, Terminal, AppleScript.
• Easily integrate with any other application using the "dash://" URL scheme or the "Look up in Dash" system service.
• Fuzzy search. Don't let misspells get in your way.
• Built for speed. Searching is almost instant.
Snippet Manager Features:
• Collect snippets of code that you reuse often.
• Sync by saving your library in Dropbox.
• Over 80 syntaxes for code highlighting.
• Variable Placeholders can be edited before pasting.
• Abbreviations are expanded wherever you type them.
Special Snippet Placeholders:
• @clipboard expands into the contents of the clipboard.
• @cursor repositions the cursor after expansion.
• @date expands into the current date.
• @time expands into the current time.
Other Features:
• Retina-ready.
• Multi-Touch Gestures.
• Menu item or dock application, always one keyboard shortcut away.
• Users that want to use Dash only as a Snippet Manager or Documentation Browser, can do so.
In-App Purchases
• Dash will nag and annoy you every now and then, in order to purchase.
• Added Atom, Chocolat and Espresso integration options in Preferences > Integration
• The Alfred workflow can now perform different actions based on the keyboard modifier that is pressed
• Fixed Alfred workflow bug which sometimes caused no results to be returned
• Fixed Ruby Repo issues with gems which contain uppercase letters
• Fixed Java and Scala Repo issues which caused slow or corrupt downloads
• Fixed a bug which caused crashes while installing/updating docsets
• Fixed some cheat sheet related bugs
New in 2.0 (available for free):
• Cheat sheets. Dash now supports cheat sheets which can be contributed by any user and existing cheat sheets can be improved or modified.
• Docset repos. Dash now supports installation of docsets from some popular package managers.
• CocoaPods. Install docsets for any Cocoa Pod you want.
• Ruby Gems. Install docsets for any Ruby Gem you want. This also announces the end of the old "Ruby Gems" docset.
• Java. Install docsets for anything Java on search.maven.org.
• Scala. Install docsets for anything Scala on search.maven.org.
• Support for other package managers will be added in the future. GoDoc.org and MetaCPAN.org are planned (currently waiting for some modifications from their maintainers). A Python docset repo is not possible at the moment as there's no way to reliably get or generate docs for Python packages.
• New icon. Dash has a lovely new icon, thanks to Reda Lemeden.
• New docsets. Added Grunt, Mongoose and Rust docsets.
• Smarter Alfred workflow. Dash will now dynamically modify the Alfred workflow to include keyword triggers for docsets or search profiles. For example, you can now type "php {query}" in Alfred instead of "dash php:{query}".
• Lots of minor bug fixes and lots of new minor bugs!
If you like Dash, please rate it on the Mac App Store or tweet about it. Thank you!
