In summary, when using the dictionary you are able to press on a word within the definition itself and that automatically pulls up the definition for that word also. The issue is that for whatever reason (design flaw? Oversight?) you can only do this once per dictionary query.
Another observation is that you can't do this at any point in the full screen dictionary window, only once in the small pop up window. Pressing an additional word in the small pop up window automatically forces the dictionary into full screen and any further search beyond that point needs to be manually typed into the search bar, an overall slow, laggy, cumbersome, and clunky experience.
My question is if there's a way to enable unlimited dictionary browsing, eg. you can press words within definitions of words an unlimited number of times. Maybe if there's a way to force the dictionary pop up window to stay in the small mode then it may be possible, as these additional searches never seem possible from the full screen dictionary. Or perhaps there's a way to activate it in full screen also?
The ability to search words within dictionaries is particularly valuable to language learners who prefer to use monolingual dictionaries, as often further clarification may be required on words within the definition itself.
I hope I've been clear in my explanation please let me know otherwise, thank you for your time |
I didn't know you could even do that in the first place; last time I tested it (not on the latest firmware version, though), it didn't do anything, and I haven't tried since then.
Regardless, assuming this does work, it's more than a patch can do easily, but it should be possible to easily and safely hook whatever handles pressing a word in the mini-popup and redirect it to whatever triggers displaying the mini-popup for a selected word using NickelHook.
