Description Claire M. Lotion 2006-11-05 12:53:17 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I often have to switch between Konqueror and Akregator while reading articles, because I lookup (foreign) words and background information using web shortcuts or the search field. This takes quite some time, so I'd prefer to have this functionality in Akregator. Perhaps there are others with the same problem.

More integration between Akregator and Konqueror (whichever way around), such as addressed in bug 107258 and bug 117092, would already be a huge help. I'm not sure whether this is a duplicate of these two bugs, because I would be perfectly happy just having a search field or Wikipedia pane.

As of Akregator 5.16.3 (20.12.3), if you select text from an article and right click it there's a context menu offering to translate or search in Google, Wikipedia.

There's also the option to select among several other search engines, translators, dictionaries, etc.

I consider this as solved.
