- (2023-07-05, v:0.0.4) Tim Timo: A small suggestion
Hello, I really like your extension and think it has a lot of potential. However, is there any way to switch the "Ctrl+Shift+E" keyboard shortcut to double-clicking on a word instead, or would there be a small pop-up when I select the text? If you could do that, it would be much quicker, and I would really appreciate it
