Restore the ability to make manual dictionary lookups in editor mode #291

Closed himselfv closed 6 years ago

Original report by me.

In 1.67 it was possible to temporarily reactivate manual dictionary lookups when using the dictionary as a panel in the editor.

To do that you had to click at one of the "Jp->En", "En->Jp" and "Clipboard" buttons. These become depressed when working with the editor, by pressing any of them you're returning the dictionary to the manual lookup mode.

So you could work with the automatic mode results for as long as you wish, then switch to manual mode. In manual mode, automatic results were reset immediately.

Once you clicked inside the editor again, the dictionary switched back to automatic mode.

People reporting this in #286 would like to have this function back.

Did it in the latest commits (#879429eccf82). The dictionary panel now has a manual mode button which works as the above buttons worked before. Once you click back to the editor, the auto mode is re-set. Fixed a number of things related to switching in and out of the editor in different editing states.
