Any TextMate trick/bundle to lookup Rails documentation?


I know this is common in 'full featured' IDE's and not text editors but TextMate walks a unique line with its many bundles... I'm wondering if there is an easy way to, say, click on a Ruby or Rails class or method and have TextMate (or shell) take me to the definition or some documentation?


Solution

  • There's one built into the rails bundle (^h) which uses api dock.

    Another pretty nice way of doing it is using the rails os x dictionary, but it has a few downsides and I'm not sure what version of rails it's using (I'm pretty sure it's not rails 3, but I haven't checked).
