Description Ritesh Raj Sarraf 2010-01-29 08:43:22 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

It would be good to have an integrated dictionary/thesaurus interface into KDE that could help all applications that would use kedit to provide the dictionary features.

Linux distributions (at least on Debian) usually ship dictionary packages in DICT RFC 2229 format. This wishlist is basically to make use of that database that many people install.

This wishlist, if implemented, could give us the equivalent of the Dictionary/Thesaurus feature that Microsoft Office provides.
