feature request- faster language switching #165

Open smallbillgates opened 4 months ago

similar in desire to: https://github.com/rdoeffinger/Dictionary/issues/34

I have to switch between several languages fairly regularly, and the two taps it take me to change can be a bit annoying, especially when I'm only flipping from one language and back again.

Ideally, when i press the language button it toggles from one to another. I.E. Spanish to English and back again, where a long press would open up the current dialog allowing a switch to a different dictionary entirely.

since I'd need to sometimes look up the enhlish word, i could do so, but then immediately after, look up a found word, one tap, and i'm ready to type.

I've found this dictionary to be incredibly useful.

For the translation dictionaries there is the 2 arrow symbol on the bottom that switches the translation direction. I am not sure if that is what you meant. I could imagine extending it to go back to the previous dictionary if you are using single-language dictionaries, is that your use-case?
