It's even worse than that. Here, Google pulled one from the Microsoft playbook: embrace, extend, extinguish. Google bought DejaNews, rebranded it into Google Groups (embrace) and then proceed to Googlify it, making it less and less Use

I didn't try Zeal on Windows, but it's a supported platform, so I would assume you can register a hotkey there as well.

Happy user here - Zeal (and Dash on MacOS) is an easy productivity win, even if you're online (Django online docs search is notoriously bad for some reason), and indispensable if on a spotty connection or offline.
