artbit/vim-zealdash

Vim plugin to register Zeal (Dash on OSX) as a keyword program

Simple Zeal/Dash keyword lookup

This is a simple plug-in for Vim (and NeoVim) allowing to bind Vim's builtin keyword lookup capabilities to an external program, namely Zeal (on GNU Linux) and Dash (on OSX).

Installation

The easiest way to install the plugin is to install it as a bundle. For example, using Pathogen:

1. Get and install pathogen.vim. You can skip this step if you already have it installed.

2. cd ~/.vim/bundle

3. git clone git://github.com/artbit/vim-zealdash.git

Bundle installs are known to work fine also when using Vundle. Other bundle managers are expected to work as well.

⚠️ If you use Fish as your shell, you will need to add set shell=/bin/sh to your ~/.vimrc — the plugin relies on the setting pointing to a Bourne-compatible shell.

Documentation

The documentation can be browsed directly in Vim::

:help zealdash.txt

Alternatively, you can also read it in your browser

Updating

Manually

In order to update the plugin, go to its bundle directory and use Git to update it:

1. cd ~/.vim/bundle/vim-zealdash

2. git pull

With Vundle

Use the :BundleUpdate command provided by Vundle, for example invoking Vim like this:

$ vim +BundleUpdate
