Configuring wordweb to search from FARR

(1/3) > >>

mouser:
You can type "ww definition" and that word will show up in WordWeb if you have SlickRun configured correctly.

want to be able to bring up wordweb with definition for the word you type in farr in exactly the same way as you cite for slickrun? add the following alias (just select this text, go to alias tab and right click and say paste preformatted alias):

--- ---1000>>>ww>->WordWeb - $$1 | C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe WWEB32.DLL,ShowRunDLL $$1>+>^ww (.*)
ps.
farr (v2) has a built in alias "define" so you can type define WORDNAME and get a menu of online dictionaries to search for the definition of your word.

of course you can add your own aliases, etc.

mouser:
Part of the problem with FARR aliases is that they are a hard concept to explain, so people tend to get excited when some other launch program claims to have a few special built in keywords that do special things, wheras FARR uses the much more generic concept of aliases.

FARR v2 now comes pre-installed with a ton of default ones (most actually contain menus of subcommands), but the main point is that you can create your own powerful aliases that:


* launch programs, open documents, present menus, open urls, parse regular expressions, copy and past clipboard text, conduct more complicated virtual searches, and more.
And this of course doesn't even include the new FARR v2 plugin system which really extends the kinds of things you can do with FARR.

f0dder:
Hm, the FARR alias syntax looks somewhat daunting!

thats not the syntax you use when configuring an alias, just the format for pasting one in that someone else wants to give you.
