It's easy to get started:

1) Select the word or string of words.
2) Right click and select QWiki
3) OR You can hit the keyboard hotkey combination Alt+Shift+y after selecting the word
4) If it is a single word a double click would also produce desired results

2) Double Click is optional and disabled by default
