Entering definition text

Entering a definition is done in the Widget main window by simply typing or copy-pasting a text string.

About this task

If you do not enter any text in the widget search box, MultiTerm Widget shows all terms in the selected termbases, up to a maximum of 100. You can change this maximum in the Settings window, under Search Results.

Procedure

  1. Open MultiTerm Widget. Double-click the icon in the system tray, or press Ctrl+Alt+F8.
  2. In the Widget main window, do one of the following:
    • Position the mouse cursor over any word on the screen and use the widget mouse action. The factory setting is: hold down the Alt key + left-button click.
    • Hold down the configured mouse action and drag the cursor through any text on the screen. A thin red line shows the words that will be captured.
    • Highlight the words and right-click to copy the text from an application of your choice. Then paste the words into the widget search box.
    • Type text directly into the widget search box.
