5. FAQ

We have compiled some of the most frequently asked questions from users, hoping to help you quickly resolve your doubts.

Q1: Which programming languages does Dash support?

Dash covers almost all mainstream languages. From the list we mentioned earlier, you can see that whether it’s Java, Python, JavaScript, or Swift, Go, Rust, they are all included. Its official documentation library is continuously updated, and you can also submit requests to add new docsets.

Q2: How do I customize my code snippets?

The operation is simple. In the Dash main interface, click the “Snippets” tab. Select “New Snippet” or right-click on a category and select “Add Snippet”. In the pop-up editor, you can enter code, set titles and tags, and also use special placeholders like @clipboard we mentioned to make code snippets smarter.

Q3: How do I update Dash’s offline documentation?

Dash periodically checks for updates. You can manually manage all docsets in “Preferences” -> “Downloads”. Click the update button next to a docset, or select “Check for Updates”. We recommend enabling automatic updates to ensure documentation is always up to date.

Q4: Can Dash integrate with Xcode?

Absolutely. Dash provides an Xcode plugin. After installation, you can select an API or method in Xcode and use a shortcut to jump directly to Dash to view detailed documentation. This greatly improves the coding efficiency of iOS/macOS developers.

Q5: What is the difference between the activated version and the free version?

The free version has limitations on the number of docsets that can be downloaded and usage time. The activated version we provide unlocks all features, including unlimited docset downloads, complete code snippet management, and all future updates. You can enjoy the full experience after activation.

Q6: After installation, it won’t open and shows “damaged”?

This situation is usually due to macOS security policies. Please try going to “System Preferences” -> “Security & Privacy” -> “General” and see if there is an “Open Anyway” option. If it still doesn’t work, you may need to check whether the downloaded software package is complete, or contact our customer service for assistance.
