Subject: [Dictionarysearch] Suggestion for dictionary search
Message-ID: <20060517074532.5142.qmail@web32112.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hello, I'd like to suggest this feature, if possible:
Double-clicking a word in a webpage makes it to be selected, then we rightclick, point to the "dictionary search" option in the context menu to trigger the dictionary tab in firefox. What I'd like to see, maybe every user too, is a "on/off mode key" to shorten the process: when the key is on (activated), a new tab would open with the dictionary in the desired word immediately after the user double-clicks it. When off, everything returns to the normal ways.
Thanks for attention!

Or triple clicking like in scrapbook! (in scrapbook preferences there is
a checkbox to enable/disable it).
I think it is a valid shortcut (as scrapbook already imlemented it).

I think it is a really great idea!

Is there a version that operates with SeaMonkey 1.0.1?   And if not, any 
plans?  (I certainly miss the ability to search through 3 or 4 
dictionaries on the context menu that was installed on Mozilla 1.7.13 
and prior.)

No plans. (I don't use Seamonkey). Feel free to grab the code and make
it work with Seamonkey.

Its not scrapbook, its reveal extension.

I have looked at the code, and it seems to be doable. (Sadly I have
really important uni stuff here, so cant investigate more time right now
into it).

Some things are unclear (what call the relevant function in reveal.
Im talking about this line(content/quickmag.js:29):
 observe: function (aSubject, aTopic, aData)

I dont see any this.observe or any other observe call in the source. I
think its some XUL thing there. A little help is needed here. I assume
its called at startup time, otherwise, does not make sense.

The relevant code would be look like:
(at the configuration load code):
 case "reveal.quickmag":
      if (getBoolPref("reveal.quickmag"))
        getBrowser().mPanelContainer.addEventListener("click", this.toggleMag, false);
      else
        getBrowser().mPanelContainer.removeEventListener("click", this.toggleMag, false);
      break; 

I think at dictionnary search would look like something:
case "dict.quicksearch":

The key thing here is addEventListener and the toggleMag code.

The toggleMag function is responsable for the triple-click handling.
The relevant part(I simplified it, and make it double-click):

toggleMag: function (e) {
    var good = false;
    if (!(getBrowser().selectedBrowser.contentDocument instanceof ImageDocument)) {
      if (e.detail == 2 && e.button == 0) {
        good = true;
      }
    }
    if (!good)
      return;

    if (QuickMag.magOn) // local variable, is the funtion enabled? 
                        // If so disable, it, and quit. If not execute
      QuickMag.disableMag(null);
    else if (e.currentTarget == getBrowser().mPanelContainer) {
      // execute the dictionnary code!    
    }

Jaap, can you help me please? Some help-hand would be really nice!
