Unlimited potential through easy to create plugin modules.
Customizable lookup trigger to either a mouse button or key combination.
Access to text in the system that may not be selectable or copyable.

This program is great. I no longer have to cut and paste between documents and dictionaries. Massive time saver for my particular needs.
