(ID: ) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/05/2017 It's a lifesaver. I've been using it extensively almost every day for a year now. Dear Daniel, could you please please add the optional configurable shortcut? So one can select a word and just press two keys. This would save like twice the time to get to the page. I'd donate!

Mark van Dijk (ID: 000000d53313c3b9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/18/2017 I love it! Very useful. One request: is it possible that you add another context menu option "search kanji" (perhaps only when selecting a single kanji)? For example, when I select 平, and then select "search kanji", it would search jisho for "平 #kanji". This would give me the stroke order after just one context menu click, which is what I'm using this for primarily. Thanks! Great extension. ♥️
