Dear Torsten,
I did not know dictionary.el exists, but now it is all great, thank
you much.
I was using my version that uses local dict/dico client and gives me
results.
I would really like Emacs to have option in the main streem: Look up
word -- so that is why I proposed, I hope soon Eli or other developers
will tell how to proceed.
My proposal is following:
- I have seen that M-x dictionary-search is not looking for terms, it
is looking for single word. But that is incorrect. Look this
example:
https://dicoweb.gnu.org.ua/?q=under+fire&server=dico.gnu.org.ua&db=*&strategy=.&search=Search
So there are many terms that consists of multiple words, such as
"under fire"
- Thus my proposal is that you improve the function, so that it marked
region is looked as term, such as "under fire".
- Then if region is not marked for multiple words, it should look for
nearest word.
I hope you understand it.
Jean
