The no change-log is killing me. >_>

I noticed the extension was updated again yesterday. Mysterious...

That was a sneaky update, but Yomichan is now available for Anki 2. You can get it at the Anki 2 add on page.

I'd like to create a bunch of documentation and nice release notes, but it can be tricky between a full time job, 6+ hours a day of Japanese study, feature work/fixes on my projects and all the other stuff I've got to do on a daily basis

Best place to see what's going on with Yomichan is to look at the commit history on GitHub: https://github.com/FooSoft/yomichan/commits/master

Can You get Yomichan to work with CE-DICT? It's in plain text and it would be very easy to regex it into whatever format you need.

If it's text, it would be relatively simple to implement. I really want to add some kind of support for multiple dictionaries, but it's really difficult to find time ^^

Next time I get some time off work when I'm not buried in my Japanese study I'll add it

How do I get vertical text to work?

Thank you for this awesome program, truly awesome
The instant card creation feature is a most useful one ! No other program (that's still available, however) can do it :/

Have you ever considered modifying Yomichan to support other languages too, if you ever have time ?

I usually don't like having to use more than it is strictly necessary (as in apps that I don't really need), but this app has changed the way I interact with Anki completely. I don't have to (and I don't want to ever again) add facts manually to my simple 3-fields Japanese deck.

By the way, there is a small glitch, when you add facts automatically, it creates an empty tag as well which is not assigned to any fact either. Well, I just run 'Check database' and get rid of it, but you may want to 'actually' get rid of the bug.

Also, just out of the box (aot having the user meddle with the script), adding a shortcut to bring up yomichan and letting you close the whole dialog by pressing [Esc] would be nice.

Anyway, thanks for yomichan!

EDIT: What code can I use to close the main dialog by pressing ESC and where in the script should I add it?

By first implementing support for it in Qt

Yes, I have thought of it. Since I have so little time for stuff, the only way it could happen is if I started learning another language myself. I've been planning to learn Chinese or Korean at some point, but right now Japanese is plenty

Bleh, I knew I would mess something up in porting to Anki2... Oh well, no biggie, I'll fix it. :/
I had a couple of free minutes today so I added the shortcuts you wanted, they are checked into the Yomichan master branch on GitHub. You can view the changelist here: https://github.com/FooSoft/yomichan/comm...4cd2c7ddc1

@FooSoft Wow, thank you!

Hi this tool is really awesome. But I have a request. I want to use yomichan on a Windows 8 tablet (full windows version, no RT stuff). It already has almost all the features you would need for tablet use such as being able to resize the UI and the fonts. However, to search for definitions, you need to use the middle mouse button or the shift key. On a tablet you don't have these things. Can you make a preference to use a mouse press to look up a word? This would make it touch friendly as you would just tap the word with your finger or stylus. It would be great to be able to lie in bed with this app and read Japanese books.

If there is a workaround to what I am asking for, please feel free to let me know. I'd really appreciate it! This feature would be useful not only for Windows 8 tablets but for people with iPads and Android tablets using remote desktop to access yomichan from their main computers (ie. via the Splashtop program).

Should be easy enough, it will definitely have to be a preference because it will making selecting text kind of difficult...

What @PotbellyPig said + a keyboard shortcut for the [Add full term] option.

It would also help people that don't use a mouse (trackpad anyone?) like me.

Thanks! I would really appreciate it. I found that can press the "shift" key on an on screen keyboard each time you want to look up a word but it blocks your view and is really cumbersome and almost unuseable. This will improve things alot.

I really want to see some chinese support for this, so I got a .csv version of the CEDICT ready with this website.

Chinese dictionary in .csv

I have some python experience so I might try rigging something up with the source code later.

Or just hint at us how we can go about implementing it in our own.

Is there a way to set newline as a sentence separator, along with '.'?

It doesn't work for me. The add buttons are simply not there... and I followed the instructions on the website..

@Stian, because you haven't configured to what of your decks deck (and mapping what fields) the word it's going to go.

@FooSoft BTW, the search function doesn't work, it raises an error all the time (I just noticed):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/turvy/Documents/Anki/addons/yomi_base/reader.py", line 209, in onActionFind
self.findText(searchText)
File "/Users/turvy/Documents/Anki/addons/yomi_base/reader.py", line 414, in findText
index = content.indexOf(text, self.state.searchPosition)
AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'indexOf'

What do you think about some of the suggestions posted above this post?

I actually did that. If you read my reply more carefully, you would have noticed that I implied that.

Including the %e, %r, … part? Maa~, I'm sorry I don't know else.

Btw Isn't it "if you had read my reply"?

Yomichan doesn't seem to display my shift-jis. It just says its displaying it as utf16 (which is the wrong encoding) and there doesn't seem to be an option to change it.

Yup, all four of them.

Perhaps it is, but English isn't my first language.

EDIT: I figured it out -- for some reason %e has to be on the first field, or else it won't add the cards.

Another question, does it work with J-J dictionaries?
