For me, the combination of Dash and Alfred is the productivity boost. Alfred makes it very easy to search documentation in Dash. You can have unique keywords in Alfred to target specific packages in Dash. For example, “guava: ImmutableList” or “sidekiq: Client”. I find it especially useful with Dash on a secondary monitor while the editor is on the primary so that both are visible at the same time.
- maleldil 3y agoWhat's the difference between using Alfred to search vs using the hotkey to open a Dash window in search mode?
- chipotle_coyote 3y agoI don’t think there really is a significant difference, unless you’re already using Alfred. I’m an Alfred user and it’s kind of the “start everything place” window for me, the system-wide equivalent of a text editor’s command palette, a CLI for the GUI.
- zomgwat 3y agoAgreed. I just tried out the Dash hot key and it’s basically the same. I’m tempted to claim the Alfred integration is better but that’s probably just me being a user of Alfred.
