[Feature] Individual Dictionary entries.

Open epistularum opened this issue 6 years ago • 6 comments

Currently all dictionary entries are bundled together. It would be nice to add a rikaisama-like toggle for dictionaries where individual dictionaries are swapped by pressing keyboard shortcuts.

For instance the json priority list looks like this: Kenkyuusha Shinmeikai Jmdict

Pressing "D" for instance swaps the pop up definition to Shinmeikai, pressing again swaps to Jmdict and pressing again swaps back to Kenkyuusha. Pressing "Q" for example would go the other way around.

Entering "Mining UI" while "Dictionary Swap" is used would only generate the definition of the currently selected dictionary.

Use case:

  1. A definition is particularly good on Shinmeikai and I only want this one.
  2. Always displaying every dictionary is a bit of a clutter and inefficient when you start adding up more dictionaries (Daijirin, Kojien,... when supported by nazeka_epwing_converter).

This sounds annoying. I'll come back to the idea later.

By annoying you mean annoying to implement?

Yeah, I'm not calling you annoying, that would be weird.

Hahaha that's not what I meant.

The way you have worded your answer sounded like the feature in itself would be annoying (not useful).

I just haven't figured out what it would be like to use it yet.

I've decided that I might add this eventually but it's not on my todo list.
