Description Francesco Nwokeka 2011-03-29 17:39:04 UTC 
Version:           git-latest (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

It would be nice to add the possibility to search for a word you don't know, directly from the chat.
I though of it this way:
1- highlight the word to search
2- right-click it. The user will be show a contect-menu with search engine options ( wiktionary and other online dictionary resources )
3- choose the search engine and load the page into the user's browser

Reproducible: Didn't try

This has been open for nearly 2 years. Clearly no-one has any intention of doing this.
Feel free to implement it if you come back, but I don't intend to.
