Currently (as far as I'm aware), the only way to trigger the popup is to hold your modifier key while hovering your mouse over the word you wish to look up.

Is there a way to trigger the popup by selecting the text and then pressing the modifier key (not hovering)? The use case for this would be in conjunction with something like Vimium, where the user selects the text in visual mode and triggers the popup without needing to touch their mouse.

This could be useful even with mouse, because sometimes you want to jump straight to the definition of a shorter word starting from mouse cursor position. If implemented, should probably be done together with #79 (single kanji modifier) because they are related
