New Features in version 0.5 and fixes
from old version 0.4.1:
- Provided support for Firefox 1.5 beta and Mozilla Suite
- Customizable keyboard shortcut-key (Ctrl+Shift+your_key)
in the options box (ctrl+shift+D is default)
- Gives an option "View Definition" in the right-click context
menu (useful for viewing the meaning of any hyperlinks)
- Gives an option to use "Ctrl" key along with "double-click"
(double-click may be used for selecting the word as usual. Ctrl+double-click
can give its definition in the tooltip)
- Provides an ability to specify the dimensions of the tooltip
in the options (do not try keeping small numbers as you cannot see anything
:) )
- Fixed the tooltip history problem (not entirely though)(DO
NOT USE BACK, FORWARD, RELOAD BUTTONS WHEN THE TOOLTIP IS ACTIVE. Close the
tooltip and navigate as you like) (It was very tough to get this functionality
:) )
- Fixed the problems with Firefox, TabMix, DictionarySearch
(found that a single line was causing these problems)
- Last but not the least, provided support for different dictionaries
like www.dictionary.com, www.wordreference.com, dictionaries.travlang.com.
Also translation from English to different languages like Spanish, French,
Italian, German, Dutch
Features:
- Shows the meaning of the selected word in a scrollable tooltip
by double-clicking or by pressing ctrl+shift+D
- Press any key or click on the page to hide the tooltip
- Provides a mechanism to enable (or) disable the double-click
option in the extension's options box (this is particulary useful for those
who feel double-click annoying)ie. go to "Tools", "Extensions", "Dictionary
Tip" and then click "options" in the dialog box.
- Enables double-click capability in the tooltip also (but
not recommended)
- Works in PC and Linux (didn't test in Mac)
