Well, I just tried it, and it doesn't seem to have gone through yet.

As a FF3 user, I'm very excited to try this!

Awesome work. You hit just about everything I wanted from this program. I'm loving this new operation mode, with me being able to choose it being on or off for all tabs. I made my own edit to have it on auto default but sometimes I just wasn't in the mood for it or something
I'm also glad to see you implemented it for whole words so I can make it more challenging if I want to, and am currently trying it out. It slows down my reading sometimes but that's a good thing.
Also glad to see it's FF3 compatible with FF3 coming out this month

All in all, great job, this is huge improvement and makes this a much better add-on than before. The only flaw left that I can think of is that it edits stuff where you type in, which can be a minor annoyance when searching thnigs in google, or editing a post. That might not be fixable or might be too complex to fix at least, I'm not sure, I'm no programmer.

This is a pretty neat idea and good implementation. I like that this idea doesn't require one to set aside study time or change one's habits, yet may still yield results. It's like getting something for nothing. Thanks jaystarkey

I haven't tried out this new one, but I just got an idea. Is there any way you could add the option for Kanji-lish to implement kanji up to a certain frame number that we designate? That way it could be tailored to each one of our needs

delete from there to the last entry

The other thing you could do is just comment out the part of the file you don't need instead of making a whole new one - open the sample file from the preferences menu to see how to comment in .xml files.  The actual profile files live in the directory just above the one where the sample file is at, so it should be easy to find.

phauna, look 2 posts above you

Wont this get you too used to kanji to keyword
rather than keyword to kanji?

Ok, So how exactly do I make it so that it shows only kanji I've learned so far? I opened the sample.xml and honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing haha

Put

<!--

Before the kanji you don't want to use.  Then put

-->

after the last kanji (but before </root> )

I suggest using the free version of EmEditor - it handles UTF-8 files no problem, and also knows XML, so your commented section will turn green.

I wondered the same thing, but so far, so good.  Of course, non-RTK profiles don't have this problem as much because each kanji can have multiple words (not just a keyword) so you tend to get an idea of all of the meanings of each kanji.

ok i havent tried your program out yet (no time) so im not sure how it all works
but how much more complicated would it write it so that it HIGHLIGHTS a specific keyword to a certain background colour say red (just for the sake of us recognizing it) so once we think of the kanji for it, we draw it in our minds then highlight our mouse of the keyword then see the kanji answer popup?

Trust me, this is a good thing, in fact, it's better this way (assuming it could work the other way)

This teaches you to identify kanji as you see it, knowing keywords doesn't help nearly as much when you encounter kanji in actual Japanese. If you learn both ways your information is that much stronger.

When I did Heisig and I wrote new kanji and finished for the day, I'd go over them looking at the kanji I wrote and try to guess the keyword and this helped me remember much better. I honestly think if you're not doing something to remember the kanji the other way around too that you're setting yourself up for failure

I love it.

I see it matches multiple words too like "翌he following".

New features are: 1) option to replace the entire word with kanji instead of just the first letter

That's pretty 甘!  It would be 助ful if it 示ed a popup or something for when you are 撃en (though you 可 always 使 rikaichan).  Also, it seems to 剖 語s 以 the apostrophe 字, which 吾 存 is the 右 物 to 為 for '"s," but 勿 for 略s like "着't" 等.  吾'd 愛 to 見 it 応 a stemming 芸 to 各 語 先 kanji 代ion then 加ing the 語 終ing 裏 on.
