Hotkey Settings

The four basic functions of the software all support setting separate hotkeys. Note that Saladict only supports standard key combinations and does not support non-standard shortcuts like double-clicks. This will not be supported in the future either. If needed, please use third-party key mapping tools to achieve this.

Variable Name Format Conversion

Variable name format conversion aims to help users automatically convert between different naming conventions, by standardizing variable names, it helps the translation software better understand the context, thus improving the accuracy of translation. This feature supports multiple common naming conventions, including snake_case, CamelCase, PascalCase, kebab-case and dot.notation.

Wayland

Tauri's hotkey solution does not yet support Wayland, so the hotkey settings in Saladict cannot be used under Wayland. Please refer to External Invocation to use curl commands in system custom shortcuts to invoke Saladict.
