Ruby has a program called ri where you can type in 'ri Array' and get its manpage. Is there something like that for scaladoc?

Now that the Scaladoc web "app" is being enhanced with indexes for fast in-browser search, this kind of thing should become much easier, especially now that there's always a JS interpreter in JDK6. I'd suggest filing an enhancement request. :)

a command line app would be great because it'll allow easy lookup in vim/emacs. – tommy chheng Nov 12 '10 at 18:50

Not that I know of, but it would be cool. I don't think it would be too hard to do it, given that scaladoc (I heard) is supposed to be kind of pluggable.

I'm thinking more like a command-line script that reuses the static HTML/JS artifacts already on disk, assuming the user has installed the doc bundle. Either way, it'd be nice. – Alex Cruise Nov 12 '10 at 18:28

With a command-line browser like elinks, and just one directory which matches scaladoc
, you can use:
#!/bin/bash
for link in $(locate scaladoc | grep $1); do elinks $link ; done

Stefan Zeiger's Extradoc would probably be a good basis for this and other documentation tools.
