🔍 USAGE TIPS:
- Keyboard Shortcut: Press Alt+Shift+D on Windows/Linux or Option+Shift+D on Mac (customizable in Chrome extensions settings) to open the side panel
- Once the side panel is open, any text you select on the page is automatically looked up
- Right-click on any selected text and click "Look up in Definio" to look it up instantly in the side panel
Chrome Limitations:
⚠️ The extension does not work with PDF files viewed in the browser
⚠️ Selecting the text first and then opening the side panel using shortcut will not automatically look up the selected text.
Use the right-click menu instead. Or open the side panel first and then select the text.
🛡️ WHY A SIDE PANEL?
- Privacy First: Unlike popup extensions, Definio works in its own dedicated space without injecting content into web pages
- Non-Intrusive Design: The side panel never covers or alters the content you're reading
- Better Reading Experience: Look up words without losing your place in the text or having floating boxes interrupt your flow
- Persistent Results: Keep your definitions visible while continuing to read and navigate the web
📚 Whether you're reading, researching, or writing — Definio is your quick-access English companion right in your browser.
