DashDoc provides integration of Dash into Sublime Text.
Usage
You can look up the word under the cursor or selected text in Dash using ctrl+h.
Installation
Options
As usual, you will find the associated settings under the Preferences / Package Settings / DashDoc menu. Personal settings should be made in Settings - User.
Syntax sensitivity
DashDoc can be made sensitive to the syntax used in the current view. Dash will then consult the docset that matches the current syntax. Example: a lookup for map in a Haskell buffer will instruct Dash to search in its haskell docset, a search for the same word in a Python buffer will consult the python2 docset instead.
Syntax-sensitive search may be invoked using ctrl+alt+h hotkey. You have an option to switch the default method of searching with config option syntax_sensitive_as_default, which defaults to false. If you set it to true, then ctrl+h becomes syntax-sensitive, and ctrl+alt+h becomes the insensetive option.
Choosing a Dash docset for a given syntax
For any Sublime Text syntax, DashDoc can search a docset of your choosing. Map entries below are of the form { <syntax> : <docset> }. For <docset>, use the lowercase docset prefixes that Dash indicates in its Preferences / Docsets pane.
"syntax_docset_map":
