# VimDict
A Simple Wrapper Over The Dict CLI Utility For Vim9
# Dependency
- `dict`
- `+vim9script`
- `+popupwin`
This plugin is written in vim9script and utilizes the popup feature of Vim, therefore it requires a vim 9.0+ compiled with +popupwin option.
You can check this in Vim with `echo has('popupwin')` and `echo has('vim9script')`.
If Vim returns `1`, then you have what this plugin needs.
### Install dict on your distro:
`apt install dict`
`pacman -S dict`
# Install VimDict
use your favorite plugin manager,
or:
```
git clone https://github.com/wolandark/vimdict.git ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/vimdict
```
or for on-demand loading of the plugin:
```
git clone https://github.com/wolandark/vimdict.git ~/.vim/pack/plugins/opt/vimdict
```
for on-deman loading do:
`:packadd vimdict`
`:Dict`
# Usage
Put your cursor on a word and issue `:Dict`, (No need to select visually or copy the word, that's just for the demo). Move the cursor to dismiss the popup or press `Esc`.
# Configuration
You can specify colors for the popup in vimrc, othereise vimdict will use the default highlight group which creates a white on black popup.
```
let g:dict_popup_fgcolor = 'Black'
let g:dict_popup_bgcolor = 'White'
```
Optionally, define a mapping to call `:Dict`
`nnoremap :Dict`
