NAMExfce4-dict — a client program to query different dictionaries

SYNOPSISxfce4-dict [option] [text ...]

DESCRIPTIONxfce4-dict allows you to search different kinds of dictionary services for words or phrases and shows you the result. Currently you can query a "Dict" server(RFC 2229), any online dictionary service by opening a web browser or search for words using a spell check program like aspell, ispell or enchant. Homepage: https://docs.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-dict/start

OPTIONSIf called without any arguments, the xfce4-dict main window is shown. Any passed text argument(s) are used as search text. -d, −−dict  Search the given text using a Dict server(RFC 2229). -w, −−web  Search the given text using a web-based search engine. -t, −−text-field  Grab the focus on the text field in the panel (has no effect if panel plugin is not loaded). -s, −−spell  Check the given text with a spellchecker. -i, −−ignore-plugin  Start stand-alone application even if the panel plugin is loaded. -c, −−clipboard  Grabs the PRIMARY selection content (X selection clipboard), uses it as search text and performs a search. This is useful when you want to create keyboard shortcuts for this command. The search method can be specified with the −d, −w and −s options, if not specified the default search method is used. If the PRIMARY clipboard doesn't contain any text, the normal clipboard is used. -v, −−verbose  Be verbose (print useful status messages). -V, −−version  Show version information. -?, −−help  Show help information and exit. xfce4-dict supports all generic GTK options, a list is available on the help screen.

BUGSThere is a limitation of max. 12 characters in passing a search term to xfce4−dict when the panel plugin is loaded. That is, if you pass a search term as command line argument(s) to xfce4−dict which is longer than 12 characters, it is truncated. To be exact, the limit is 12 bytes so if the search term contains any non−ASCII characters it might be even less than 12 characters. To work around this limitation, you can add the command line '−i' so that xfce4-dict will start a single stand−alone application. Then all passed text is used as search term.
