Pop-up Dictionary v1.0.0-beta.1 Announcement
🕑 Added 2021-08-26 20:50:58 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
As promised here is the first of many add-on releases that will be part of this year's back-to-school add-on extravaganza.
v1.0.0-beta.1 marks a milestone release that comes with a number of major new features and changes for the add-on. Most importantly of all, I've rewritten major parts of the add-on to both make it more future-proof with upcoming Anki releases and eliminate a lot of the conflicts with other add-ons and deck styling that the pop-ups would run into.
The full changelog follows below:
Added
- Added suport for modern Anki versions (tested up to Anki 2.1.46)
- The add-on now sports a sleek new pop-up design and effects, optimized both for light mode and dark mode
- Searches can now also be triggered by selecting a phrase and right-clicking
- Added an option to exclude new notes from snippet results (thanks to @zjosua!)
Fixed
- Changed the default add-on hotkey to "Alt+Shift+D" (⌥+⇧+D on macOS) to avoid a conflict with default key bindings on Anki 2.1.41 and up
- Fixed an issue that would cause an error when opening cards in the browser (thanks to @Nanco300 for the report!)
- Fixed an issue that would cause images within the pop-ups to not be sized correctly (thanks to @padenw24 for the report!)
- Made the add-on more resilient against conflicts with user-made deck styling
- Made the add-on more resilient against conflicts with other add-ons (tested against the top 200 most popular add-ons)
Changed
- Refactored major parts of the add-on, making it more robust and future-proof
- Dropped support for older Anki versions. The minimum supported version is now 2.1.23.
- Upgraded qTip2 to v3.0.3. This should hopefully fix a number of bugs with the pop-ups and make for an overall smoother user experience (thanks to @ansaso!)

Unfamiliar with how Pop-up Dictionary works? Then make sure to check AnKing's tutorial out (it's a bit older, but still does a great job of showing all the basics).
Ready to give the new release a try? Then make sure to look-out for the download post that will be coming up in a second for everyone at the Add-on Aficionado support tier and up!
Have fun!

Hey! Is there a version that works with the most recent version of anki?

You know what I'd like to see @glutaminate implemented, add the ability to put a tag on all the items that come up on the Pop-up. Then creating filtered decks from such word/s is as easy as pie. For example, I'm search SIADH and boom all my cards across all decks would be populated via the Pop-up and then let the Pop-up give me the ability to add a tag to all items it found in its search. Then create filtered deck and boom, very powerful feature.
Is it possible to somehow align everything in the pop up window left instead of centered. I tried changing the style of the dictionary note type but that didn't change anything. Thanks in advance! :) (In case it's important Anki 2.1.49)
