sdcv.el

This is an alternative Elisp implementation of sdcv.el that does not require the sdcv CLI dependency. It is based on Chen Bin's code from here.

This version includes updates to support lookups across multiple dictionaries.

Installation

It can be installed using straight.el. To install, add the following to your Emacs configuration file:

(use-package sdcv
  :straight (:host github :repo "jsntn/sdcv.el")
  :config

  ;; set your dictionaries, see example below,
  ;; (defvar sdcv-simple-dict
  ;;   `("~/.stardict/dic/stardict-lazyworm-ec-2.4.2")
  ;;   "Dictionary to search")
  ;; (defvar sdcv-multiple-dicts
  ;;   `(("~/.stardict/dic/stardict-lazyworm-ec-2.4.2")
  ;;     ("~/.stardict/dic/stardict-langdao-ce-gb-2.4.2")
  ;;     ("~/.stardict/dic/stardict-langdao-ec-gb-2.4.2")
  ;;     ("~/.stardict/dic/stardict-cedict-gb-2.4.2")
  ;;     ("~/.stardict/dic/stardict-DrEye4in1-2.4.2"))
  ;;   "List of dictionaries to search.")

  ;; keybinding example,
  ;; (global-set-key (kbd "C-c d") 'sdcv-simple-definition)
  ;; (global-set-key (kbd "C-c D") 'sdcv-complete-definition)
  )

Usage

Use,

• sdcv-simple-definition for simple popup lookup
• sdcv-complete-definition for the multiple dictionaries lookup
