# dictpopup
|
|
|
|
This is a very lightweight program to show a popup with the translation of the selected text. It uses [sdcv](https://github.com/Dushistov/sdcv) for the dictionary lookup and a slightly modified version of [herbe](https://github.com/dudik/herbe) to display the popup.

## Dependencies
|
|
most of them might be already installed.
|
|
|

sselp , sdcv, perl
|
|
|
|

## Setup
|
|

|
|
Then install with `sudo make install`. \
|
|
Uninstall with `sudo make uninstall`

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](https://github.com/dudik/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.
