========================================================================
1. |DESCRIPTION|			*zeavim-description*

Zeavim allows to use Zeal(http://zealdocs.org) documentation browser directly
from Vim(http://vim.org).

- Search for word under cursor, visual selection or the result of a
  motion/text-object.
- Search without losing focus in GNU/Linux.
- Narrow search with a docset or a query.
- Allows using multiple docsets.
- Docset names completion.
- Define you own docsets using patterns.
- Works on GNU/Linux and Windows.

========================================================================
2. |INSTALLATION|			*zeavim-installation*

To use zeavim, you need of course to have Zeal installed. Grab it from
here(http://zealdocs.org/download.html) and install it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1. Manual installation~
*zeavim-installation:manual*

Install the distributed files into Vim runtime directory which is usually
`~/.vim/`, or `$HOME/vimfiles` on Windows.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2. Using a plugin manager~
*zeavim-installation:plugin-manager*

The used keyword depends of your vim plugin manager: >
    Plug 'KabbAmine/zeavim.vim'
<
========================================================================
3. |USAGE|				*zeavim-usage*

1.  `<leader>z` or `Zeavim/ZeavimV`
    Search for the word under cursor or the current visual selection with the
    docset defined automatically+.

2.  `gz{motion}`
    Act like an operator and search for the result of a motion/text-object
    with the docset defined automatically+
    (*e.g. `gziW` will search for the inner Word*).

3.  `<leader><leader>z` or `Zeavim!`
    Narrow search with a docset and a query (A default docset is provided).
    - Multiple docsets can be defined, just separate them by a comma.
    - The docset name can be completed using `tab`, see part 6.5.

+ The current file type by default.

========================================================================
4. |MAPPING|				*zeavim-mapping*

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1. Default mappings~
*zeavim-mapping:default*

`<Leader>z` or `<Plug>Zeavim`
    Search for `<word>` under cursor with the docset defined automatically.

`<Leader>z` or `<Plug>ZVVisSelection`
    Same as `<Leader>z` but use visual selection instead of `<word>.`

`gz{motion/text-object}` or `<Plug>ZVOperator`
    Same as <Leader>z but use the result of a motion/text-object instead of
    `<word>.`

`<Leader><leader>Z` or `<Plug>ZVKeyDocset`
    Narrow search with a docset (A default one is provided) and a query in
    input.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.2. Custom mappings~
*zeavim-mapping:custom*

You can easily change the default mapping for each action.

For example: >
    nmap ,z <Plug>Zeavim
    vmap ,z <Plug>ZVVisSelection
>
========================================================================
5. |COMMANDS|				*zeavim-commands*

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.1. Main commands~
*zeavim-commands:main*

A unique command `Zeavim` is provided. >
    :Zeavim     " NORMAL mode
    :ZeavimV    " VISUAL mode
    :Zeavim!    " Ask for docset & query

The commands `ZvV` and `ZVKeyDocset` are still available to maintain
compatibility with old versions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.2. Specify manually docset
*zeavim-commands:docset*

If you need a lazy way to specify a docset(s), you can use: >
    :Docset DOCSET1,DOCSET2

As an example, I'm working on a `scss` file but I want to get `compass`
documentation when using Zeavim, so I just need to specify manually this
docset: >
    :Docset compass

Then Zeavim only for the current buffer will use `compass` as a docset.
Note that you can define multiple docsets separated by comma(s).

The docset name can be completed, for that see part 6.6.

To set back the initial docset, a simple `:Docset` without argument is enough.

========================================================================
6. |SETTINGS|				*zeavim-settings*

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1. Zeal's location~
*zeavim-settings:location*

You can specify Zeal's location manually by adding in your vimrc: >
    let g:zv_zeal_executable = 'path/to/zeal'

default: >
    has('win32')
	\ ? $ProgramFiles . '\Zeal\zeal.exe'
	\ : 'zeal'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.2. Zeal's arguments~
*zeavim-settings:args*

You can add arguments/flags to zeal command using `g:zv_zeal_args`

default: `''`

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.3. Adding file types~
*zeavim-settings:new-types*

You can map specific patterns (file names, file types or file extensions) to
docset(s) using `g:zv_file_type`.

default: >
 {
    	\   'scss: 'sass',
	\   'sh  : 'bash',
	\   'tex : 'latex'
	\ }

The variable is a dictionary where:
* The keys are pattern(s) that can match file names, file types or file
  extensions.
* The values are the docset names.
>
    " For the docset, not mandatory but you can use underscores instead of
    spaces
    let g:zv_file_types = {
        \	'FILE_NAME' : 'DOCSETNAME',
        \	'EXTENSION' : 'DOCSET1,DOCSET2',
        \	'FILE_TYPE' : 'DOCSET_NAME',
        \ }

example: >
    let g:zv_file_types = {
	\   'css'                      : 'css,foundation,bootstrap_4',
	\   '.htaccess'                : 'apache_http_server',
	\   '\v^(G|g)runt\.'           : 'gulp,javascript,nodejs',
	\   '\v^(G|g)ulpfile\.'        : 'grunt',
	\   '\v^(md|mdown|mkd|mkdn)$'  : 'markdown',
	\ }


------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.4. Disable default mappings~
*zeavim-settings:no-mapping*

You can disable all the default mappings with: >
  let g:zv_disable_mapping = 1

default: `0`

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.5. Order and criteria of defining docset~
*zeavim-settings:order*

You can set in which order and which criteria should be used when trying to
find the docset with `g:zv_get_docset_by`.

default: `['ext', 'file', 'ft']`

To define the docset, the plugin checks the following:
1. The value defined by `:Docset` command.
2. The values defined in `g:zv_get_docset_by`.

The default value of `g:zv_get_docset_by` is `['file', 'ext', 'ft']`, it means
that the plugin will try to find a pattern matching:
1. The current file name
2. The current file extension
3. The current file type

You can set a specific order or remove a criteria: >
    " Find matching pattern to the file type only:
    let g:zv_get_docset_by = ['ft']

    " Find matching pattern to the extension first, then to the file name 
    " and finally to the type.
    let g:zv_get_docset_by = ['ext', 'file', 'ft']

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.6. Docset name completion~
*zeavim-settings:docset-completion*

You can specify where are stored zeal's docsets for command completion purpose
with `g:zv_docsets_dir`.

default: >
    has('unix')
	\ ? $HOME . '/.local/share/Zeal/Zeal/docsets'
	\ : $LOCALAPPDATA . '\Zeal\Zeal\docsets'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.7. Keep focus~
*zeavim-settings:focus*

`g:zv_keep_focus` allows keeping the focus on vim after executing zeal.

default: `1`

Note that it needs `[wmtcrl]`(http://tripie.sweb.cz/utils/wmctrl/) to be
installed and works only on GNU/Linux.
