Description

Dynamic Kanji Info reads off your chosen note field(s) to display isolated kanji meanings, similar-looking kanji and readings. Hover over a kanji reading to see a word list from your notes with the same reading. Clicking any of the links in the popup will filter the browser to the appropriate set of notes.

Setup (Important! Add-on will not function until this is done): after downloading the add-on, go to Tools > Dynamic Kanji Info Settings and set at least one note field for the add-on to read from.

All lookups are local: dictionary data is bundled with the add-on.
