If you install the AutoCopy plug-in for FireFox, double-clicking or other highlighting will automatically copy to the clipboard, so Ctrl+c is not required. Just double-click or highlight.

You misunderstood me.

No. I was simply offering that AutoCopy (at least to me) is easier. You simply double-click. But some people are more keyboard orientated and prefer the two-key Ctrl+c combination.

No.

Yes. Ctrl+C is "copy to the clipboard". What I'm talking about (as are you) is "look up what you've clicked on with the mouse"

languages such as French, Spanish, Italian, etc?

Another free popup dictionary is StarDict. It works in pretty much any Windows application, including PDF readers and word processors, but the free dictionaries that are available for it are often hit-and-miss. However, you can create your own custom dictionaries from tab delimited files or Babylon .bgl files with the free StarDict editor, which needs to be copied to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin folder to work. Please note that you cannot install StarDict if you've already installed GIMP, because StarDict uses an older GTK library.

Another Stardict fan here. Babylon dictionaries, once converted, work fine.

I use it under Linux though.
