husoranger (ID: 0000007d914a60de) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/23/2023 hello, is it possible to add some new features? For ex, as in this chrome application "https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cambridge-dictionary-look/hhddcfhbobkbccigannkfacjdoebinbm", instead of opening in a new tab, it will display the result in a resized pop-up window in right part of the website like a mobile view, i mean user agent might be mobile view in the opened pop-up, so that i will be remained focused in the main page, and instead of right-click and press search, would it be possible to use assigned shortcut which is customizable, i dunno if i demand too much, but it would be awesome if such features can be added...other than this, it's awesome app, ohh one more thing sometimes, when i right-click a word, in the little pop-up, i cannot see translate button, sometimes it appears, sometimes not, maybe this problem is related to my chrome, it might be conflicting with other extensions i am using, i think adding a customazible shortcut to search the word like ctrl+w or something would be amazing. This is the best working Leo Dict app in the chrome store P.S. as for the show result in the pop-up window, actually I could managed to do it from the extension's settings by selecting show the result in seperate tab, so this issue is solved, only thing I request is customizable shortcut to search the word

Roland Meier (ID: 000000c4bde13a49) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/02/2021 This one works, the other one doesn't. Please add the option to select a single language and in this case display the first results directly in the popup (see google translate extension)
