How to use
After installing/compiling it you need to download docsets. It can be done automatically by clicking 'Edit', 'Options', 'Docsets', 'Download...'.
How to compile
If you prefer to compile Zeal manually, currently it requires Qt 5.0. To compile it, run qmake
and make
in the zeal
directory.
TODO
- Issues
- Search enhancements - some ideas:
- Allow selecting subset of docsets to search in (enable/disable docsets, docset groups)
- Grouping of similar results (like overloaded funcdtions)
- Code cleanup
MainWindow::MainWindow
probably should be shorter than 200+ lines.- Refactoring to reuse common code between
ZealDocsetsRegistry
andZealListModel
Creating your own docsets
You can use Dash's instructions for generating docsets.
Contributions / Project Status
Any feedback, feature requests, or pull requests are welcome. However the project is not under active development at the moment, so unless someone is interested in contributing code, no new features are expected.
I'm going to continue updating docsets that are part of Dash/Zeal exchange programme, and try to fix critical stability/compatibility issues if any arise, to keep the project somewhat alive, but will not implement new features in foreseeable future. Anyway, I should be able to review pull requests.
Please keep in mind I'm not an experienced C++ programmer, so the code quality might be not great.
