Lookup Word in Dictionary Extension
* Lookup 'text' on the world famous, blue and red colored online dictionary
context menu item and there you go!
It was easy, huh?
Or alternatively you can hit \"Alt + W\" shortcut to get the selected text looked up or if there is nothing selected, then the online dictionary is started up on a new tab. (Since version 1.2)
HINT: Just be careful not hitting \"Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + W\" instead, because it will close your active tab. But in case if you did so, don't panic, you can recover that tab by pressing \"Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + Shift + T\".
