Lookuplet --------- This GNOME applet provides a unified interface for looking things up. There are many applications (desktop and web-based) in which you enter some text and they return some information based on that text. Examples include: * Looking a word up in a dictionary * Performing a web search * Performing a more specific search (searching Debian packages or on freshmeat.net, etc.) The lookuplet aims to make all of those services readily accessible in as efficient a manner as possible. A text entry box is provided on the GNOME panel and you simply enter text into that box and then press whatever action key combination you have defined for a particular service to initiate the lookup. This interface is based on the emacs principle of typing as few characters as possible to perform tasks that are done frequently. I find myself looking things up in various applications all of the time and the overhead of creating a new browser window, selecting a bookmark, clicking into the text entry field and then pressing submit struck me as tremendously inefficient.
