Description

Pop-up Dictionary – Kanji Extension

Version 1.0

Updated version of the “Pop-up Dictionary” add-on with a new feature.

🔍 Look up in Pop-up Dictionary…

By selecting a word, you can open a popup that searches for all occurrences of that character or word in your collection and displays all matching cards, as shown below.

🧠 New feature: Look up in Kanji Database…

You can now display the kanji card associated with a selected kanji from any card.

How to use:

  • Select a kanji
  • Right-click
  • Choose “Look up in Kanji Database…”

A popup will open with the associated kanji card.

⚠️ For this feature to work correctly, the main field of your kanji cards must be named:

kanji

🙏 Credits

This project is based on the original work of Glutanimate.
The original add-on was still very useful, but had been left unmaintained for several years.

👤 Author

Saikoh

Modified fork of Glutanimate’s Pop-up Dictionary.

Most of this update was built with the help of AI tools, used as assistance during development.

🚧 Future improvements

In a future update, I will try to allow searching by any field instead of only the kanji field.

Enjoy.
