Dash Docset Keywords 🗝

Dash has a customizable keyword for each Docset. Here are the defaults for a random Hashrocket collection*:

These keywords scope search results to one Docset; use one in the Dash search bar like so:

elixir:String.split

And from Alfred:

dash elixir:String.split

This is useful when you have many Docsets, and are sure where you want to look, which should be true almost all the time. It's nice when using two complementary technologies like Elixir and Elm that share a function namespace (such as String.split).

* Also note: this list order can be changed, as noted in the table header. Move libraries you use often above those you use rarely.
