About this extension

Look up Japanese words with the hover of a mouse.

After enabling the add-on from the toolbar (or press Alt+R) simply hover over Japanese text and a popup displays corresponding dictionary definitions.

Use Shift/Enter to cycle through the available dictionaries (word dictionary, kanji dictionary, names dictionary), and 'd' to toggle hiding the definitions.

Rikaichamp is similar to other rikai-tachi but aims to be simple, reliable, fast, and up-to-date. It includes simple installation, an up-to-date dictionary, many many bug fixes over its predecessors (e.g. it correctly recognizes the causative passive), automated tests and type-checking, and a modern API usage.

Release notes for 0.3.3

• Moved display of part-of-speech labels to the start of the definition and grouped them when they are repetitive
• Made Rikaichamp include する in the match range for nouns that take する (vs nouns)
• Fixed recognition of vs-c verbs (suru verbs ending in す instead of する, e.g. 兼した)
• Stop trying to convert years written as a transliteration of digits (e.g. 令和七九年 instead of 令和七十九年)
• Moved Rikaichamp popup to an isolated shadow DOM tree so that it should be more robust when used on pages that set styles in ways that conflict with Rikaichamp's styles
