Detecting language please wait for.......
Hi,
I made a simple script to run a Google search:
(1) Highlight the text to search for
(2) Click both mouse buttons at once
The append variable adds some text after the search term. This can be quite useful and can be changed depending on your language pair or just omitted if you prefer
This script uses the first tab open in the browser, but you can use a different tab by changing the "SendInput ^1" line to a different tab number
If you use Firefox rather than Chrome, change the WinActivate line to "Mozilla" instead of "Chrome"
~LButton & RButton::~RButton & LButton::{clipboard =SendInput, ^cClipwaitclipsaved := clipboardappend := " English"clipboard := clipsaved . appendWinActivate, ChromeSleep, 50SendInput, ^1Sleep, 50SendInput, ^kSleep, 50SendInput, ^vSleep, 50SendInput, {Enter}return}
Useful script!On a side note, for those using ApSIC Xbench together with Studio, it has such a function built in allows searches in any website where the search term is part of the address. These can be…
I slightly adapted this to search three dictionaries at once. This is set up for three Japanese dictionaries but could easily be adapted for any dictionary that puts the search term in its url. The dictionaries are opened in tabs 2, 3 and 4. (I am assuming that tab 1 is used for general google searching)
^MButton::{ clipboard = SendInput, ^c Clipwait clipsaved := clipboard web1 := "">https://jisho.org/search/" clipboard := web1 . clipsaved WinActivate, Chrome Sleep, 150 SendInput, ^2 Sleep, 100 SendInput, ^l Sleep, 100 SendInput, ^v Sleep, 100 SendInput, {Enter} web2 := "">ejje.weblio.jp/.../" clipboard := web2 . clipsaved SendInput, ^3 Sleep, 100 SendInput, ^l Sleep, 100 SendInput, ^v Sleep, 100 SendInput, {Enter} web3 := "">eowp.alc.co.jp/search clipboard := web3 . clipsaved SendInput, ^4 Sleep, 100 SendInput, ^l Sleep, 100 SendInput, ^v Sleep, 100 SendInput, {Enter} Sleep, 100 SendInput, ^2 return}
Ah, this commenting system has garbled the url definitions in the script (web1, web2, web3) but I hope it is clear how the script works.

Did you check out this app: https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/searchonweb/934/
It's a simple web lookup, I use it the whole time. Fast, simple, reliable.

Thank you Daniel,
Yes, that is another way to do it. There is some software called Intelliwebsearch too. But this script is a very simple and customizable approach to automate multiple dictionary searches.
