Dictionary-Look-Up

Extension to look up words painlessly.

Why this ?

I'm so tired when looking up some words:

1. Open a new tab
2. Type dictionary web page
3. Hit Enter
4. Type a word to look up
5. Hit Enter

This extension will make the look up process less painful because you just need to toggle the extension and look up the word.

Features

• Support dictionaries: Cambridge, Oxford, Merriam-Webster
• Easily toggle extension via shortcut Alt + O (default)
• Easily change dictionary via Tab and Shift + Tab key
• Get previously looked up word when press ↑ arrow key
• Search multiple words at once, separated by a comma (,)
• Prevent searching for mistyped words that contain invalid characters, symbols, and numbers
• Simple but yet powerful, time-saving
