dicto

Looks up definitions of words that you highlight/select whatever you wanna call it.

Usage

• To run dicto, simply type

  dicto
  

dicto runs in the background, so you can close your terminal now.

• Select the word you want,

and press the hotkey alt+T (default)

• To stop dicto, type

  dicto --stop
  

Dependencies

Dicto needs pyperclip, which also requires xclip (recommended) or xsel. Install them! I dare you...

On Debian:

sudo apt-get install xclip

On CentOS 7 / RHEL 7 / Fedora:

sudo yum install xclip
or
dnf install xclip

On Arch:

sudo pacman install xclip

Troubleshooting

If dicto does not work, try

git clone https://github.com/narasaka/dicto.git
cd dicto
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

If dicto outputs 2 or more of the same notification pop ups,

dicto --stop
dicto
