Re: [Announce] Artha - Handy off-line English thesaurus with regex search feature released!

[Stefan Nuxoll <stefan nuxoll eu org>]

An offline tool for this is kinda cool, but it should be noted that
applications should not sit in the notification area, it is *not* a
'tray'.  It really should just be a standalone app, you may make a
separate panel applet if you desire (or even better, write a deskbar
plugin).

When the user selects text from any window and presses this hot key, Artha pops-up with the word looked up. Should the user prefer passive notifications over the app. popping-up, Artha's 'Notify' option does this. Apart from showing definitions, it also shows Synonyms, Antonyms, Derivatives, Similar Terms, Attributes, Domain Terms, Pertainyms and 5 more. When a word is misspelled, it shows spelling suggestions too.
