- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13880760, 7 years agoReally nice add-on that offers various display modes for the translation. Plus it doesn't use damn Google.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Rsge, 7 years agoJust a few minutes ago I found out about the many (semi-new ?) configuration options available like the gestures and the micro panel option for the context menu - these are awesome and work really well : )
Still, I have one very small suggestion:
Could you make it so when you click the taskbar icon it automatically puts the cursor into the Translation text field, so you can start typing instantly and not have to click in the field first?
Otherwise, as I said, very good work : )
Edit: Thanks for the reply : )
Well, then you really can't do anything about it : )
I didn't know if you'd also understand German, so I wrote this in English to be safe - also, more people can understand what I wrote this way : )Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks. The text field should focus automatically, but it doesn't due to a bug in Firefox. It seems they are working on it, but it's not ready yet:

Update:
The bug has been fixed in the nightly build of Firefox. So it's going to be available with Firefox 60. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13781925, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by jak.b, 7 years agoDas AddOn ist sehr praktisch und benutzerfreundlich, besonders wenn man bei den AddOn-Einstellungen einstellt, dass neue Ergebnisse im MicroPanal geöffnet werden: Man markiert den zu übersetzenden Text, drückt rechte und linke Maustaste, und in einem kleinen Panel erscheint die Übersetzung.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13101032, 7 years agoHi Lusito!
Working with your great Add-on for Years, but with Firefox 57.0.1 the Micropanel in Version 5.2 doesn't work at all. Also the Micropanel in Beta Version 5.3a unfortunately doesn't work. Is it just me or is it a general Problem? Many Thanks in advance for your help!
Many Greetings from Thailand!

posted 7 years agoHi Joy,
sorry about the delay.. for some reason, I did not get any notification about this post.
The micropanel works fine for me. Is it a specific website on which it doesn't work? (addons.mozilla.org is not allowed for example)
Have you tried using a different method to show the micropanel? Like rocker gestures, quick click or context menu?
What OS are you using?
If everything fails, would you be willing to try some things to find the source of the problem? like test the add-on with a fresh browser profile, to see if it might be some setting or another extension conflicting with this extension.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13350502, 7 years agoI will have to deactivate this plugin until this is fixed.
The '@' char is required everywhere, now i can't even enter my e-mail adress because this dict quick search toolbar pops up when pressing ALT+Q.
@Follow Up answer
Sorry, i meant Alt Gr + Q. It happened on a Windows 7 Prof System while trying to comment to a Youtube comment.
To test it again, i reactivated the plugin and i think i now narrowed the problem down.
It seems to be, that my keyboard layout was accidently set to the English layout (EN) during that session (i have that windows language keyboard layout icon in the lower right corner) and i didn't noticed that.
When the layout is set to English on the software side in Win 7 pressing Alt Gr + Q will result in this pop-up of the dict search bar.
If i set it back to DE layout in the lower right corner, everything works fine again.
So probably my fault.
I don't know if its possible to make the plugin ignore the key combination of Alt Gr + Q if the layout is accidentally set to English layout but it would be a good thing in my opinion.
I will give the plugin now 5 stars.
Thanks for your answer.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for the report, but that has never been the case for me.
On Windows and Linux, Alt Gr + Q is used for @. Not Alt + Q. Alternatively, Ctrl + Alt + Q can be used, which also does not trigger the add-on.
I've researched Mac, but they seem to use a completely different combination for the @.
Could you give some insight into what system uses this shortcut for the @? (It's not the keyboard layout, as I'm using the german keyboard layout as well)
Sadly, there is no way to change this from firefox. chrome would allow to edit those shortcuts. But I could make this different per OS.
The only other way would be to use a different shortcut or to not have a shortcut. Let me know if you have suggestions. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10231516, 8 years agoI read your rant ;) Though I do not agree because I think Quantum and Photon are a huge improvements I certainly see that this (repeated) rewrite must have a lot(!) of work. I feel your pain...
As a Nightly user I am very happen with your add-on. Thank you. Especially the Ctrl+Alt click shortcuts are really good (once I found out about it ;).
Previously I always manually went to dict.cc. Now this is a great time saver. - Rated 5 out of 5by Andreas Berger, 8 years agoThank you so much to taking the effort and bring this excellent add-on back to Firefox! I was beginning to miss it badly...
(Hopefully you'll get the pocket panel working as well... ;-) - Rated 5 out of 5by frankiebluej, 8 years agoThis is an extremely helpful tool. I can look up a word quickly and efficiently and still be assured of accuracy since it comes from dict.cc.
I like this updated version quite a bit. (Even though the others worked well, too.)
Thanks,
