# investigate.vim The plugin is on Github https://github.com/Keithbsmiley/investigate.vim/ A plugin for looking documentation on the word under the cursor. You can choose to open it in a browser, with [Dash](http://kapeli.com/dash) on OS X, or with an arbitary shell command. ## Example  ## Setup Example mapping: ``` nnoremap K :call investigate#Investigate()<cr> ``` With this mapping, using capital K when your cursor is on a specific word will open its documentation. The [help file](https://github.com/Keithbsmiley/investigate.vim/blob/master/doc/investigate.txt) has tons of documentation on configuration. Here are some of the basic options. ## Configuration ### Dash If you want to open everything in Dash you need to set: ``` let g:investigate_use_dash=1 ``` This value is ignored unless you're on OS X. If you want to use Dash conditionally based off the current filetype you can set something like: ``` let g:investigate_use_dash_for_ruby=1 ``` If you want to use something else, like a URL for a single type you'd want to use this which will override the global Dash setting: ``` let g:investigate_use_url_for_ruby=1 ``` If you use a different keyword in Dash for a given language you can set it by using: ``` let g:investigate_dash_for_ruby="rails" ``` This would set all Ruby files to open in the Rails documentation. ### URLs If you don't like the website I chose as the default for a filetype you can redefine it with: ``` let g:investigate_url_for_ruby="http://ruby-doc.com/search.html?q=^s"; ``` Where `^s` will be replaced with the word under the cursor for Ruby files. ### Custom Commands You can also open documentation with arbitrary shell commands. See `investigate-writing-commands` in the documentation for more info. ### Project specific settings You can setup project specific settings with an `.invrc` file from the directory you launch Vim in. For example for a Rails project you may want to set Ruby files to open Rails documentation for that single project but not other Ruby gem based projects you're working on. To do that the file would look something like this: ``` [syntax] ruby=rails ``` This will set a syntax variable: ``` let g:investigate_syntax_for_ruby=rails ``` Which entirely changes Ruby files to open in the Rails documentation. See `investigate-conf-file` for more information. ## Installation ### With [Vundle](https://github.com/gmarik/vundle) Add: ``` Bundle 'Keithbsmiley/investigate.vim' ``` To your `.vimrc` and run `BundleInstall` from within vim or `vim +BundleInstall +qall` from the command line ### With [Pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen) ``` cd ~/.vim/bundle git clone https://github.com/Keithbsmiley/investigate.vim.git ``` To generate the helptags afterwards run `:Helptags` ## Development If you find any bugs, want any languages added, or want any default language settings changed, please submit an [issue](https://github.com/Keithbsmiley/investigate.vim/issues/new).
