dicto

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

https://pypi.org/project/dicto-pkg/

The program

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

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
    

Install

If everything works and you really want it,

pip3 install dicto-pkg

Or alternatively (for Debian users),

sudo dpkg -i dicto_v0.0.1.deb

Now you can run everything without the "./"

dicto

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

Uninstalling

sudo -H pip3 uninstall dicto-pkg
