[feature request] Dictionary definition lookup of a word #178

Open tubingtime opened 1 year ago

It would be cool if you could you could type define [word] and it would show the definition. For example: define idiosyncratic (adjective) idiosyncratic: Of peculiar temper or disposition; belonging to one's peculiar and individual character.

It looks like someone has already done something similar with GNOME Shell: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1440/wordreference-search-provider/

Moving this to the launcher component, which handles returning search results (the shell extension is just a frontend.)
