## What it is
A Sublime Text plugin that integrates Dash (macOS), Zeal (Linux), and Zeal/Velocity (Windows) documentation browsers. It lets developers look up the word under the cursor or selected text in their docsets via a hotkey, with syntax-sensitive docset selection.

## Use cases
- look up API documentation for the word under the cursor in Sublime Text
- search Dash or Zeal docsets from the editor with a hotkey
- map Sublime Text syntaxes to specific documentation docsets
- search documentation contextually based on the current file's language
- query any docset topic from Sublime's command palette

## When to choose
- you use Sublime Text and Dash, Zeal, or Velocity for offline API docs
- you want syntax-aware docset lookups without leaving the editor
- you need per-project docset mappings for different languages

## When to avoid
- you use VS Code, Vim, or another editor instead of Sublime Text
- you don't use Dash, Zeal, or Velocity documentation browsers
- you prefer browsing docs in a separate app or browser
