Consult A Dictionary is plugin that provides easy (IMHO) way to consult dictionaries (for example for translate words). It provides the following funcionality:     * Search for words or phrases in dictionaries and displaying       dictionary entries in a separate window     * Use of Ex commands and hence shell-commands (for example       "r!/usr/bin/sdcv -n $$$_words") for displaying dictionary entries.     * Search in dictionaries for:         - given word or phrase (:ConsultADict <words>);         - the word under the cursor (:ConsultADict or :ConsultADictToggle);         - the current selection in visual mode (:ConsultADict or :ConsultADictToggle)     * Search history (for current script run time) For more information see :help ConsultADict

install details

Extract the zip archive into your runtime dicrectory (for example ~/.vim or ~/vimfiles for Windows). The archive contains the following two files:     plugin/ConsultADict.vim,     doc/ConsultADict.txt. Next, to finish installing the help file run:     :helptags <your_runtime_directory>/doc It needs to add at least one command to list of the commands for displaying dictionary entries before start using plugin.  Variable ConsultADict_cmd is used to define that list (you can set it in your vimrc file). Ex commands and hence shell-commands (r!<shell_command>) are used for displaying dictionary entries. As an example, let's use sdcv (simple, cross-platform text-base utility for work with dictionaries) to define command for displaying dictionary entries:     :let ConsultADict_cmd = ["r!/usr/bin/sdcv -n $$$_words"] $$$_words will be replaced with word or phrase to look it up in dictionaries. For more information see :help ConsultADict_cmd and :help ConsultADictScripts
