sselp , sdcv, perl
Setup

If you would like to automatically lookup a word on every selection, then take a look at the following script: https://github.com/GenjiFujimoto/shell-scripts/blob/main/selautolookup
Usage
Call dictpopup [<WORD>].
If no word as an argument is supplied, the selection is used.
The popup can be dismissed by clicking on it.
The styling can be changed in config.h and then recompile to apply.
There is also a xresources patch from herbe
that you could try to apply if you like.
popup can also be used as a standalone program to show the contents of stdin.
