Choose a tag to compare

Initial release of Dictionary Preview, a KOReader plugin that improves the dictionary lookup flow by showing a compact preview panel before opening the full dictionary popup.

This version displays dictionary definitions in a bottom preview panel, preserves dictionary formatting when available, supports adaptive panel height for short definitions, and allows quick actions such as opening the original dictionary popup, searching the selected term in the book, highlighting the selection, or looking it up on Wikipedia.

Highlights

  • Added compact bottom-panel dictionary preview.
  • Preserved dictionary HTML/CSS formatting when available.
  • Added adaptive panel height for short definitions.
  • Added navigation between multiple dictionary results.
  • Hidden previous/next buttons when there is only one useful result.
  • Added configurable left-button action: Highlight, Fulltext search, or Wikipedia.
  • Added optional custom icons for Highlight and Wikipedia.
  • Added gesture support: swipe left/right to change dictionary result, swipe down to close.
  • Prevented nested preview panels while the original KOReader dictionary popup is open.

Install by copying dictionarypreview.koplugin to your KOReader plugins folder and restarting KOReader.
