Manually search for a word #126

Open FirasSadiyah opened 5 years ago

FirasSadiyah commented 5 years ago

Just discovered this project. What a useful extension.

Is it possible to manually search for a word in order to make an Anki card out of its definition?

The reason for this feature is that I read a lot of PDF files, and currently, I can't get this extension to work with any of the available pdf.js extensions available for chrome (e.g. PDF Viewer)?

Thanks.

for pdf.js, you don't need any other pdf viewer, you can just pdf file from their demo page. It's been tested and it works.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, that worked, but would you still consider adding the manual search feature? For example, copying a word and then using a keyboard shortcut to search for it using ODH on the specified dictionary in order to add it to Anki.

Many thanks.
