Look up offline API docs in Dash with AI
Searches the documentation you have installed in Dash and reads the matching pages, checking first which docsets are available. It asks before turning on full-text search.
Use it when
- You want the exact signature of a function from a library you have installed in Dash.
- A search in Dash returned nothing and you want to know whether the docset is missing.
- You need to read a specific documentation page without leaving your editor.

Check the Dash docs for how Path.glob handles hidden files, using the Python docset.
The Python 3 docset is installed, so I searched it for Path.glob and loaded the pathlib page. It notes that glob matches hidden files like any other file on POSIX systems, with the pattern syntax unchanged. I did not check the Python 2 docset because it is not installed.
