pyglossary VS quicktile

There is a nice database of some greek dictionaries here, all well formated for the goldendict dictionary program. Unfortunatly, .mobi files are not included in the releases, but if you are tech-savvy enough, PyGlossary should be able to convert them into hopefully usable files.

pip install -U git+https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary

If you have (legal) access to it, then it is also possible to load the entire OED 2nd edition. But if you find a copy which comes in two parts then you may need to play with pyglossary and dictutil to convert to Kobo's .df format and merge them before sending to your device. Some technical competence helps here. I'll say that pyglossary wanted to spit out many, many warnings about unexpected elements, but I was able to suppress them with the -v1 verbosity level option and it doesn't seem to have affected the output (though I didn't examine it very closely beyond just a couple sanity check lookups on my device).

I think your best bet would be to find an English-Russian dictionary in another format and convert it yourself. The conversion program I know of is Pyglossary. It can convert from many formats.

Sorry, I'm in a hurry, maybe shouldn't have posted haha!

See here: https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary#readme

Allow more languages. (shot in the dark. I know the app is for japanese, but the idea would be nice with other languages if it supported other dictionaries. Say, some format from here, maybe... https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary. )

Bascially the way to do it is to use a dictionary converter tool to convert from an existing dictionary. PyGlossary is the tool I used.

Looking at your link, there seems to be a .db dictionary called DigitalNK. Do you know what this is? Is it N-Grams? https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary/blob/master/doc/p/digitalnk.md

Quicktile: https://github.com/ssokolow/quicktile

Nobody is mentioning it but it is such a great tiling manager, I use it all the time. Just select the window with alt-tab and then tile the windows with Ctrl+alt+numeric keyboards. It's quick and it doesn't need a mouse to tile windows. And it can integrate into any x11 windows manager.

You might wanna have a look at quicktile. It's basically an addon that adds tiling to existing WM. Works well, but lacks some of the intrgrations dedicated tiling WM have.

As the author of QuickTile, which is written in Python but even closer to what you describe than a window manager would be, I have to say that, yeah, doing X11 stuff takes a lot of knowledge that's not ideally documented in non-print sources.

quicktile is a handy tiling tool which saves me a lot of time. native custom tiling is always better tho

It's been a long time since I bothered with this functionality, but I seem to recall that quicktile was a better fit for me than those other two. Not sure if it's still viable.

Actually, I plan to add a .nojekyll file and then use something like Pelican with custom plugins, then set GitHub Actions to run my update.sh on push... similar to how http://ssokolow.com/quicktile/ is a Sphinx-based site hosted on GitHub Pages and automatically regenerated from the pushed sources.

I've been using ssokolow.com/quicktile for this purpose, it does what I need and doesn't replace the wm.

If you're into using shortcuts I would recommend installing Quicktile for manage your windows: https://github.com/ssokolow/quicktile
