A dictionary for your terminal. This project is identical to my other project, novi. But it is faster because it is written in Nim.
You can download pre-compiled amd64 binaries for Windows and Linux from the release page of the GitHub mirror of this repository.
Install Nim and Nimble.
git clone --branch main --depth 1 <REPO URL> povi
cd povi
nimble install
Note: this method may error at the last step. But don't panic, it should still install despite the error. Also note that it will install it in your Nimble's home folder, which is usually ~/.nimble/
(see the bin/
folder there.)
usage: povi [-h] [--debug] [-V] [-r] [-a] [-n] [words ...]
positional arguments:
words Words to search. You can specify multiple words by splitting
them by whitespace.
options:
-h, --help Show this help message and exit.
--debug Enable debug logs.
-V, --version Show program version.
-r, --repl Initiate a REPL session.
-a, --altsc Use alternate screen buffer for the REPL.
Scrolling may not work.
-n, --nosplit Don't split the input into multiple words,
instead treat it as one single word/phrase.
