I use this script to look up the selected word at www.dictionary.com with mozilla.

Code:

; Loop up selected word at www.dictionary.com
#d::
    tmp = %clipboard%
    Send, ^c
    word = %clipboard%
    clipboard = %tmp%
    Run "C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\mozilla" dictionary.reference.com/search?q=%word%
return
 

Very nice. I use almost the exact same thing, and its fast too. Here's my version (this one launches the default browser):

Run, http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=%clipboard%&db=*, , max

It's great for when you're typing somewhere (like here) where there's no spell-checker. Thanks for sharing that.

So that's the same for LEO (Link Everything Online)
an English-German-English dictionary (with 398357 entries (24/03/04))

Sweet. I think I'm going to use kalle's idea for both of these dictionaries since it automatically looks up the selected word and restores the prior contents of the clipboard afterward.

Thanks for that, It can also be used to search a word in google

You could place the following line before calling/running your browser in the script :



to allow to do searches with multiple words (it adds %20 to spaces)
