An Xcode plugin (OMQuickHelp) that integrates the Dash documentation viewer app, letting Option-Click or keyboard shortcuts open Dash instead of Xcode's built-in documentation viewer. It only works with Xcode 7 and earlier; the author recommends using Dash's built-in global search shortcut on Xcode 8+.
Use cases
- open Dash docs for the selected symbol in Xcode
- replace Xcode's documentation viewer with Dash
- automatically detect iOS vs macOS docsets from the active scheme
- install Dash integration via Alcatraz
When to choose
- you are still using Xcode 7 or earlier and prefer Dash for API documentation
- you want automatic docset switching based on your Xcode scheme
When to avoid
- you use Xcode 8 or newer, where the plugin does not work
- you are fine with Dash's global 'Search using selected text' shortcut instead of an extension
