Open full dictionary entry on word long press?

Barty · 07-15-2016, 10:48 PM

Is it possible to open the full dictionary entry when I long press on a word, rather than getting the popup definition, then having to click More, then Open dictionary? (I'm jailbroken, in case it matters.)

dsmid published a hack to enable custom ACX widgets. So you could write a new ACX based on the builtin dictionary one, except with a higher precedence so it appears on the initial popup. (At least, I assume there is a way to define priorities.)

Thanks I'll look into acx.

Of course now that I've thought about it, if I open the dictionary directly, how can I invoke the other functions, like search. That won't work. Hmm.
