Can you right-click selected text to look it up in a dictionary?
YuzuLingo · Nov 1, 2026
Yes. Select any text on a web page, right-click, and choose Look up with YuzuLingo from the context menu. The dictionary popup appears with definitions, readings, pitch accent, and export—same card as hover lookup.
When context menu beats hover
Hover lookup triggers on pointer movement while holding a modifier key. On some pages, that conflicts with native selection or drag behavior. Right-click lookup lets you select the exact span you want, then look it up without holding any key.
Multi-word selection
Hover lookup finds the longest dictionary match from a single pointer position. Context-menu lookup uses your entire selection, up to a reasonable limit. This helps when you want to look up a phrase or compound that hover would split.
Same dictionaries and deinflection
The context-menu path uses the same installed dictionaries, deinflection rules, and learning-language list as hover lookup. A conjugated verb in the selection deinflects to its base form. Romaji, pinyin, and Korean romanization convert to native script before the lookup runs.
Export and speaker
The popup from context-menu lookup includes the same speaker button and Anki export flow. Click the speaker icon to hear the word. Click Export to add it to your Anki deck with the same field mapping used for video and hover exports.
Requirements
The extension must be enabled and you need at least one learning language saved in your account. The context-menu item appears only on pages where the extension runs. It does not require a page-scan hotkey—those are separate features.
