BBEdit sets the language of a file based on the extension, check the Languages
preference. You can override that by selecting the language on the status bar
at the bottom of a BBEdit edit window.
I use Dash regularly, and you can tell it which dictionary to search in when
you hand over a term to search on, so search for 'connect()' in Python 3 for
example, see this post:

However it does appear to have a 'fail' mode if the search fails and it is not
really clear to me what the process is there. Sometime it goes searching in
other docsets, or it goes to google. I wish there was a way to control that in
Dash but that does not appear to be the case.
One more thing, you can disable docsets in the preferences, so if you don't
user Python you could do that.
