wiktionary-chrome-extension's Issues

Popup link to glossory terms are broken

For example, clicking on C.E. link in Constantinople reveals an empty popup.

Alt+P shortcut doesn't work on new installations

Add option to change font size in popups

from a review on Web Store:
"...An option for font size would be very useful. For me, the fonts are bit too big..."

Right-clicking a word shows a popup

Opening the context menu by right-clicking a word (which highlights it) should not trigger the popup.

Ability to display math (latex) in some definitions

Add a link to Wiktionary page for popup definitions

Add option to search on other versions of Wiktionary, for example fr.wiktionary.org

Add a link to the wiki page in popups

display in a popup when double clicking a word with a modifier key

i want to get rid of anything google/fb/etc from my life, and i'm looking for a replacement for the Google Dictionary extension for chromium.

the feature i'm looking for: when SHIFT is pressed while double clicking a word, then a popup shows the english definition of the clicked word.

i know that it's not a trivial feature, but please consider adding it.
