@finferflu : Thanks for pointing that out, and I’ve updated the plugin on the vim website

Hi, I’ve just donwloaded your cool plugin, but I was unable to lookup words. Then I found out that the server indicated in the code is currently not working, so I have edited it to dict.org, and I also had to change moby-thesaurus to moby-thes, this way (I hope BBCode is on):


conn = dictclient.Connection('dict.org')

output += "\n".join([d.getdefstr() for d in conn.define('wn', word)]) # WordNet
output += "\n\n"
output += "\n".join([d.getdefstr() for d in conn.define('moby-thes', word)]) # Moby Thesaurus

It would be nice if you could update the plugin on the Vim website

@Sridhar: Thanks, didn’t know about that.

@Michael: Nice idea, although I tend to be on Windows too. Perhaps, there are binaries for dict on gnuwin32.sf.net

@Kartik: Should be easy

@Abhijit, @Chris: Enjoy!

This comment has just been written with “It’s All Text” and gvim, thanks for mentioning the former.

And, if your client is *nix, you can ignore wordnet and all and simply use dict at the command line. In vim:

function! LookupDictionary()
let theword = expand(“”)
exec ‘:!dict ‘ . theword
endfunction

” Look up a word using dict
nnoremap :call LookupDictionary()
inoremap :call LookupDictionary()

By using wordnet, you can obviate internet connection and html scraping,
