buffer-env VS devdocs.el

buffer-env: A pure-Elisp version of the direnv utility. Useful to make Emacs aware of Python virtualenvs (which, judging by the questions posted here, is unfortunately still a complication for a lot of people). Similar to (and inspired by) envrc, but doesn't require the direnv program.

If you are interested in a “direnv but in Elisp”, you may want to check out this package: https://github.com/astoff/buffer-env.

buffer-env or envrc for virtual environment integration.

emacs integration: https://github.com/astoff/devdocs.el

devdocs.el: Documentation reader with quick and handy lookup commands. It is similar to the built-in Info reader, but has a different (likely larger) document coverage.

I use this (https://github.com/astoff/devdocs.el) emacs package to download devdocs locally and access them from emacs, which is pretty great.

Support for other languages is a good point. Most don't ship info documentation. :P If you want something inside a normal Emacs buffer rather than a separate browser-like application, maybe you'd enjoy devdocs.io and astoff's devdocs.el package.

+1. I'm using an amazing Emacs package that treats DevDocs kinda like Dash: https://github.com/astoff/devdocs.el

info-like: https://github.com/astoff/devdocs.el

devdocs.el to read documentation

Wow, so many devdocs packages! Of the two I mentioned, devdocs-browser is the one in the emacs-devdocs-browser repo you found. But the other one I was thinking of didn't turn up in your search: devdocs. I wasn't aware of the others you found, probably because they aren't on GNU ELPA or on MELPA.
