FWIW, on Windows it took me a lot of searching to find a way to integrate the Viewer with Goldendict. GD has a Control+C+C special shortcut combination, but I wanted something mouse-driven.

So the only solution I found so far is using an AutoHotKey script together with the classic version of a mouse gesture program called StrokesPlus.

The AHK I need to keep running contains an action to clear the clipboard, copy selected text and send it to GD upon a acSendKeys("%^r") mouse gesture action over calibre-parallel.exe for StrokesPlus:

Code:

!^r:: 


  Clipboard := "" ; 
   SendInput, ^c
   ClipWait, 2
   
   
   if (Clipboard)
   {
       Run, c:\goldendict\goldendict.exe
       Sleep, 300
       SendInput, %Clipboard%
	   Sleep, 70
       SendInput, {Enter}
   }
return

This method works fine 95% of the time, but sometimes, for some reason, I have to right-click the script icon on systray and select "Reload this script"
