General usage hints
*******************
On first run Parley Box will ask for your favourite language. Only Russian and English
are supported for the moment. Select the language and click OK button.
After starting the program puts itself onto system tray. You can access all commands
by the mean of right-click menu of the system tray icon. Otherwise, you can use right-click
on the program's main window for the context menu or (more generally) click it's commmand
buttons or use hotkeys.
When the program has input focus you can use hotkeys:
Ctrl-F - to unroll search dialog
Ctrl-Left - to return to the previous found article
Ctrl-Right - to go to the next article
Ctrl-N - to add new dictionary article
Ctrl-E - to edit current article
Ctrl-O - to open options dialog
Ctrl-Delete - to remove current dictionary article
Global hotkeys are also available:
Ctrl-Alt-Left - to return to the previous found article
Ctrl-Alt-Right - to go to the next article
Ctrl-Alt-Up - to open search dialog
Global hotkeys allow you to open search dialog or navigate throughout the found articles even
if you are working in another program.
Parley Box supervises the content of the clipboard. If it finds some text it makes searching.
If you wish to move the dictionary window somewhere on the screen you can do it by
dragging the window holding the Control key pressed (on Windows) or Alt key pressed
(on Linux - which is a standard behaviour for this OS). Dragging with right mouse button (holding
Control/Alt pressed) will resize the window.
