Related code was related to DSL's [*][/*] tag.
One of the feature removed is Ctrl+8 to toggle current articleview's AlwaysExpand mode, because DSL is the only format that has this feature and User can turn on AlwaysExpand Mode on Preferences. There is no need to assign a shortcut for it.
* Old code keep destory the scanpopup, then recreate it whenever the dict list or group list changed.
* New code keep a single instance of scanpopup, and only update necessary info.
* There is no difference between those two on Windows and MacOS which only support clipboard (Ctrl+C) scanning
* Q_WS_X11 was defined on Qt4, and it causes the super weird trackClipboardChanges to occur on Windows
due to iframe security policy and x-frame-option .
the website online dictionary can not work in qt 5.15.2+ version.
this is a workaround to pass through the restriction.
Most callers of these member functions should escape wildcard symbols in
the `text` argument. Yet nothing in the functions' signatures suggested
such escaping. With the added enum WildcardPolicy argument, the callers
are forced to decide whether or not the wildcards should be escaped.
Preferences::sanitizeInputPhrase() transforms an input phrase by
removing its whitespace/punctuation prefix and suffix. Translating a
phrase from X11 primary selection or from clipboard, via mouse-over or
from the command line results in such sanitization. This is useful when
a punctuation mark or a space is selected accidentally alongside a word.
This sanitization can be undesirable, however, when an abbreviated word
is selected. For example: "etc.", "e.g.", "i.e.".
This commit implements searching for the input word with the punctuation
suffix preserved as an alternative form of the sanitized word to show
articles for both. For example, when the word "etc." is translated from
the clipboard, both "ETC" and "etc." articles are displayed.
The punctuation suffix is preserved when the word is passed from the
scan popup to the main window and when the translate line text is
refreshed (e.g. when the current group is changed). The suffix is not
stored in history and favorites (doing so would require file format
changes and possibly substantial code changes, this can be implemented
later if need be).
Trim the input phrase once in ArticleNetworkAccessManager::getResource()
instead of verbose trimming in multiple places in
ArticleMaker::makeDefinitionFor().
Closes #1350.
