Any word you enter in forms and text boxes can be looked up using search methods 1, 2 and 3. ❔ I usually double-click to select words and do not want the definition to open every time. What can I do? 👉 Activation of the popup or window is customizable. In the user options, you can add or remove the requirement to hold down the <control> key, the <command> key (on MacOS) or the <alternative> key to activate the search. You can also disable double-click search completely. ❔ How do I close the popup? 👉 There are several ways: - Use the cross button in the popup's upper-right corner - Press <escape> - Click or tap anywhere else on the page - Move the mouse outside the page (after enabling that option) ❔ Can I make the popup bigger? 👉 Yes. For more comfortable reading, its height can be maximized using a ↕︎ button inside it. ❔ What can I do if I have trouble loading the popup? 👉 Open the extension's options and choose display "in a new window". Then please report the problem using the error reporting form: https://forms.gle/UqUPwrzDU5U5TcVX6 ❔ Why does double-click sometimes fail to start a search? 👉 By default, the settings require you to hold down <control> (<command> on MacOS). You can change this requirement. Also, under some circumstances, double-clicking will not trigger a dictionary search. For example: - On pages that were already open when this extension was installed: reload them! - On webpages designed with special restrictions - On pages in the dle.rae.es subdomain - On pages in the chrome.google.com subdomain (including this one) - On internal browser pages ("chrome://" and "chrome-extension://" addresses) - With "reading mode" enabled (also called "simplified content") - In PDF documents SOLUTION 1 💡: In all the cases above, you can use the context menu on selected text. - On words that cannot be selected, including those in links or hyperlinks SOLUTION 2 💡: In this last case, use the context menu (without selecting first) or the click-free method. ❔ Can I use this extension to conveniently look up definitions of words in documents on my computer? 👉 Yes. Any document on your computer that you can open in this browser is within the extension's reach. Try plain text documents (txt), PDF documents (read solution 1 to the previous question), or, of course, any HTML or XML document. ❔ What is the Ctrl + Q keyboard shortcut for? 👉 The Ctrl+Q key combination (Alt+Q on MacOS) is defined as a shortcut to open the manual search box (see method 4). If you already used that key combination in Google Chrome and experience interference, you can change or remove it at chrome://extensions/shortcuts ❔ Are the displayed results officially published by the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) and the Association of Spanish Language Academies (ASALE)? 👉 Yes. The results come directly from the official website https://dle.rae.es ❔ Are the displayed results up to date? 👉 Yes. They always correspond to the latest published electronic version of the DLE. At present, this is DLE 24 of 2026. ❔ So, is this an official RAE or ASALE extension? 👉 No. It is not an official extension. ❔ Can this extension or the results it provides from the Dictionary of the Spanish Language be used commercially? 👉 No. According to legal notice 4 on https://dle.rae.es: "...the reproduction, distribution and public communication, including making available, of all or part of the contents of this website for commercial purposes, on any medium and by any technical means, are expressly prohibited without authorization from the RAE."
