Nova^™

The Search Docs Nova extension allows you to quickly search your favourite language's documentation by right-clicking on a term.

Usage

Use the Search Docs... (⌘@) right-click command to look up a selected term using the default web browser, or for shell scripts, the Terminal.

Appropriate docs for the current language are automatically selected based on the editor's syntax mode. Languages with multiple commonly-used docs can be changed using the Syntax mode preferences item.
