Ciao
Please re-install as 0.2.2
(1.) Changable Short Cut Keys!!! Alt is used by a different extension, so I can"t use that key. Allow to change to tab, z, x, space, whatever.
(2.) Add additional "lesser-used" dictionaries to a right click menu. This way I can have additional searches available for acronymfinder.com, WHOIS etc that I don"t use enough for a shortcut. (there is DictionarySearch 0.6.3, but it forces you to highlight a word, and limits you to 4 dictionaries on right click! I would much rather use your extension solo.)
(3.) More dictionary shortcuts if needed. Anything above 4 shortcuts might be a little much, but it would be a nice option. (maybe by typing in the number of shortcuts you want to have at the top of the extension options window).
Please! At least do (1.), I"m limited to only 2 dictionary shortcuts right now! Will check here for a few days for an update.

Very nice extension. Could you program the source for the Firefox Version 1.0 ?
THX MaxT
to feed my personal laziness and the comfort to all the users whose Mouses have more than 2 Buttons a little more it would be really, really cool to get initiate the function of this Extension by a Middleclick. Firefox do the Autoscrolling Feature (when selected in Options>Advanced) or nothing when middleclicking on (nonlinked)Textpassages. Is it possible to place FastDic-function instead of that?
many thx for making Extensions
