0.17.0
Made Up Words v0.17.0 — Aliases & per-language word adding
Two community-requested features, both from issue #2.
Resolves #2.
Added
-
Entry aliases. A dictionary entry can declare alternate surface forms via
analiasesfrontmatter field, and hover tooltips + highlighting treat every
alias exactly like the headword:--- definition: the second month aliases: Feb, Febr ---
Hovering or highlighting
FeborFebrresolves to theFebruaryentry.
Accepts a comma-separated string or a YAML list; multi-word aliases are
matched like phrases; aliases are shown in the tooltip
("February (also: Feb, Febr)"). -
Add a word to any language(s), including several at once. Highlight a word
(or put the cursor on one), then right-click → "Add to Made Up Words
dictionary…" or run "Add selection to dictionary". The Save dialog now
lists every language with a checkbox and an editable, cypher-seeded form per
language — tick one or several and an entry is created in each language's own
folder at once (shared part of speech + definition). No more manually sorting
words out of one default folder.
Fixed
- New entries reliably create their target folder (with a clear error notice if
it fails), so adding a word to a brand-new subfolder works. - Hover tooltips now show a concept across every active language at once —
combining both directions (word as a headword and as a definition) plus
cross-language equivalents that share a definition. Hovering one language's
form for a concept also surfaces the other languages' forms in one tooltip.
Install
Overwrite main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css in your
