💖 QSTARDICT(1) — the manual page, but make it slay 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the qstardict manual page (that's the General Commands Manual section of the docs, iykyk). buckle up, we're learning a whole dictionary app and honestly? it's giving iconic. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

qstardict — an international dictionary written using Qt 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

qstardict

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, just launch and go 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

QStarDict is a modern international dictionary written using Qt. no cap. the main features are literally:

  • full support of StarDict dictionaries 💅
  • fuzzy search 🔍
  • support for hyperlinks in translations 🔗
  • working from the system tray 🖥️
  • scanning mouse selection and showing pop-up windows with translation of selected words ✨
  • translations reformatting 🎀
  • pronouncing of the translated words 🗣️
  • plugins support 🧩
ok bestie, listen up, this part matters: qstardict is looking for dictionaries in two folders as default. those folders are /usr/share/stardict/dic and ~/.stardict/dic.

the first folder is available for all users. the second folder lives in the home directory and is available for one particular user only. so like, know which one you're in, bestie. 👑

you have to create one of those folders if it does not exist and put all your dictionary here. fr fr, it will not do it for you.

it is also possible from the configuration dialog to add or remove a folder from lookup by pressing the "configure plugin" button beside the "stardict" plugin. so if the default folders aren't the move, you can fix it in the GUI. 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

This program is fully controlled by Qt GUI and doesn't have any options.

not me having to write an OPTIONS section with zero options 😭 it's fine. it's fine. the GUI ate and left no crumbs.

aaaand that's the whole manual, bestie 💜 this one's from August 12 2024, and it's the qstardict page from the General Commands Manual — go forth, look up words, be the main character of your own terminal. periodt. 💅✨
