en Thanks for the extension! I would like to share some feedback. Sometimes, I am clicking on the magnifying glass icon unintentionally after selecting some text. Could you please consider: - moving the icon/button away from the selection a bit further; - not displaying it if the user does a triple-click, which is supposed to select the whole paragraph. In this case the magnifying glass appears after the first two clicks and gets pressed on the third click, if the user is not careful enough; - maybe using a different, more specific icon, like 'MW' initials or something. This is less critical, more stylistic opinion. Yes, you can get used to the magnifying glass but it feels a bit off at first.

Very convenient. You need to look a word up in the bar of the plugin to activate its double-click look-up mode in the first time.
