mac spotlight dictionary functionality
I think that the dictionary widget or functionality could be completely merged
into krunner. Spotlight (similar to krunner) used in Macs has a very nice
implementation of it. Any time you search for a single word, a dictionary
definition is always there as an option (although there's probably a way to
toggle it off for people who don't like it) This makes looking up a definition
extremely fast since you already have a memorized shortcut that you use for
krunner (presumably on a regular basis) so there's no need to open any other
widgets or memorize any other shortcuts.
I know that you can manually type the word "define" before any word in krunner
to trigger this functionality but that slows things down by an order of
magnitude, to the extent that I never use it. The "ideal" situation would be to
either copy paste a word or middle click it into krunner and immediately have
the definition show up as one of the results (could be the last one always?)
There's no need for a separate dictionary widget then.
Please see the attached screenshot below for reference (not my screenshot I
just found it on the web)
Note: this is similar to what I wrote in
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=515039 but I thought it deserved to be
it's own wishlist report since that one was about the dictionary widget, which
is probably not widely used, and this is about krunner which is a lot more
popular (I hope this is ok and is not considered double posting)
