Solution to Hotkey issue
by subhrajit on Thursday October 15th 2009, 12:22
I managed to figure out a pretty nice solution to the hotkeys issue. Assuming you have successfully installed WordWeb in wine, here is what you'll need to do to get the hotkey (ctrl+alt+W) working:


1. Install xclip (sudo apt-get install xclip). This is an utility for reading the contents of the clipboard and the selected texts. More information at elcasey.wordpress.com/2008/02/12/xclip-use-the-clipboard-from-the-command-line/ , www.debian-administration.org/articles/565 .


2. Write a bash script (say /path/to/script.sh) with the following contents:

#!/bin/bash
export SELTEXT=`xclip -o`
wine Rundll32 WWEB32.DLL,ShowRunDLL $SELTEXT

Make sure that the script file is executable.


3. Go to System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts. Add a new custom shortcut. Give it a name (say "WordWeb Hot Key") and in the command enter the script file along with its full path (i.e. /path/to/script.sh). Save it. Now click on the new Keyboard shortcut in the list and press ctrl+alt+W to define the shortcut.

That's it! You'll now have your WordWeb hotkey ready. Select any text in any window and simpley hit ctrl+alt+W.


enjoy!

wordweb is obsolete - welcome to artha!
by brian russell on Wednesday May 20th 2009, 20:16
a new cross-platform interface for the wonderful wordnet archive has been created, making wordweb (which is a windows-only program) unnecessary:

artha.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Home

enjoy!
