Dash from vim on mac

06 August 2014

Dash is an awesome api document browser (on mac), there is an easy way to search a keyword in vim

function! SearchDash()
  let s:browser = "/usr/bin/open"
  let s:wordUnderCursor = expand("<cword>")
  let s:url = "dash://".s:wordUnderCursor
  let s:cmd ="silent ! " . s:browser . " " . s:url
  execute s:cmd
  redraw!
endfunction

map <leader>d :call SearchDash()<CR>

Then just use <leader>d to pop up the doc for the word your cursor is on.
