[lojban-beginners] Lojban Popup Dictionary for Firefox (exists now)

[vruxir <kextrii@gmail.com>]

I should have cross-posted this before (already posted in the "lojban" group).

I just made an add-on for Firefox called Lojban 
Popup:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lojban-popup/

(Still waiting for Mozilla's preliminary review, so it's not in the search results yet -- but you can still install it.)

It's
 based on the code for Mandarin Popup, my favorite popup add-on for 
Firefox, and has more or less the same functionality. When you hover 
over text, it pulls up possible matches from a JSON-ized local copy of 
jbovlaste. It ignores spaces (with some exceptions), dots, commas, and capitalization in order to 
maximize useful matches (ignoring spaces isn't ideal, but better to 
catch extras than to miss something pe'i).

The popups match on words (gismu, cmavo, cmene, lujvo, fu'ivla, etc.) or rafsi, plus whatever cmavo clusters are defined in jbovlaste.

You
 can right click and bring up a dictionary browser by which you can 
search the local dictionary by word, rafsi, definition, notes, or selma'o (search in all 
caps to match selma'o; otherwise, the search is case-insensitive). Also in the right click menu is an option to disable/reenable the popups.

The
 local dictionary file is up to date as of May 24, 2012.

Take it for a spin, let me know if there are serious problems, and TRY not to become overdependent and get tunnel vision :)
