**Installation:** `sudo apt install zeal`

**Setup script:** `/home/tr/.local/bin/setup-zeal-docsets.sh`

**Key paths:**
- Config: `~/.config/zeal/feeds/feeds.ini`
- Docsets: `~/.local/share/zeal/docsets/`

**Usage:**
```bash
zeal              # Launch
Alt+Space         # Quick search
```

**Adding docsets:**
1. Tools → Options → Docsets
2. Add community feeds (kapeli discontinued hosting)
3. Check and download desired docsets

**Note:** External docset hosting is unreliable. Zeal GUI is the most reliable way to add docsets.
