Hi, first of all, congratulations for your great work!

I have one question: I like Google search preset command very much. Do you think it would be possible to create a similar command which would search for a word definitions in a dictionary.reference.com? That would be great Thanks!

Hi Octopuss,

Shortcut: Ctrl-D
Type: Command
Paste this code into the command field:

Code: Select all

SaveClip := ClipboardAll
Clipboard := ""
Send ^c
ClipWait 1
Word := RegExReplace(Clipboard, "[^\w\s]")
Clipboard := SaveClip
SaveClip := ""
Run, http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/%Word%?s=t  
Please let me know how it is working for you. If working correctly I will add this to the presets.
Thanks for a good idea!

Hello

Could this be tweaked to work with Japanese text?

I would like to select text like 東京, click Control+D and then automatically feed the Google Translate site: https://translate.google.com/#auto/en/東京

With this, script I am getting https://translate.google.com/#auto/en/% ... 1%E4%BA%AC

Thanks for any help you can provide!

This works for me:

Code: Select all

SaveClip := ClipboardAll
Clipboard := ""
Send ^c
ClipWait 1
Word=%Clipboard%
Clipboard := SaveClip
SaveClip := ""
Sleep 500
Run, https://translate.google.com/#auto/en/%word%

The link to the dictionary no longer is working for me. Is there an update?

I tried and it still works for me - select a word and press your shortcut.

This one's simpler. Change the URL to the required one.

Type command

Code: Select all

Send, ^{vk43} ;Ctrl C
Sleep 50
Run, http://dle.rae.es/?w=%clipboard%
