Adding a new "link" function #154

Open sclee0113 opened 8 years ago

sclee0113 commented 8 years ago

I think that maybe it is convenient for users to have a "link" button to get the knowledge about the word in database. I suggest to add the "link" function in the right click of the word as shown in below graph. 2016-03-26 5 13 50

to get the knowledge about the word in database

what database? please elaborate.

sclee0113 commented 8 years ago

Sorry, I mean the knowledge about the word on the editor.

david50407 commented 8 years ago

what kind of the knowledge you want to know?

sclee0113 commented 8 years ago

I think provide the meaning of the word maybe will be a good idea.

david50407 commented 8 years ago

But neither chewing-editor nor chewing provides a database for the meaning of words.

sclee0113 commented 8 years ago

In my opinion, I think chewing-editor can give a link to website like wiki so chewing-editor doesn't need to maintain a database of word's meaning.

david50407 commented 8 years ago

Maybe link to 萌典 is a good idea. But not all of these phrases in the list having meaning on dictionary. IMO, this feature is cool but not necessary in chewing-editor. @Chocobo1 how do you think?
