Ding - Dictionary lookup program
Ding is a dictionary lookup program that uses the
'agrep' or 'egrep' tools for searching. It comes with a German-English
Dictionary with ca. 120,000 entries. It is a Tk based Front-End to
[ae]grep, ispell, or dict. 'Ding' can also search in English
dictionaries using 'dict' and check spelling using 'ispell.'
Configuration options include search preferences, interface language
(English or German), and colors. The package includes history
functions, help functions, and comes key and mouse bindings for quick
and easy lookups.
The package has three different search behaviors:
o Search after typing in a new word (standard, as before)
o Search for selected text when moving the mouse over the ding window
o Search immediately on new text selection in another window
