HaowenCang/dsh-word-lookup
A local, model-free English-Chinese dictionary for the DeepSeek Harness Web client: select a word and look it up with a keyboard shortcut.
dsh-word-lookup is a low-interruption English-Chinese dictionary for the DSH Web client: select an English word or phrase in a conversation and look it up with a keyboard shortcut (Primary+Shift+L), with nothing leaving your machine and no model involved. The README documents a dictionary card UI (headword, phonetic, part of speech, Chinese meaning, forms and examples), local SQLite storage, settings that persist across a full restart, and two opt-in automatic triggers (autoDoubleClick and autoSelection) that both default to off. The README also states no API keys, access tokens, account passwords or personal credentials are read, stored or transmitted.
Install
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-word-lookup@0.1.0Copied verbatim from the README's 'Published Release (v0.1.0)' block (the README shows it in a PowerShell block, and the command itself is shell-agnostic). The README notes a v0.2.0 development branch that is not published to npm and is tested through an isolated profile instead.
Compatibility
The README's status table targets DSH Web (0.2.0-rc.2) as the baseline and says the desktop client is not a tested target. The plugin is local-first and uses SQLite (node:sqlite) for dictionary lookup; the public package does not redistribute the full ECDICT corpus. Automatic lookup is refused for pen, touch and unidentifiable pointer devices — it is mouse-only.

FAQ
- Is a model used for the lookup?
- No. The README says nothing leaves your machine and no model is involved; lookup is a local SQLite dictionary query.
- Does it look up words automatically as I select them?
- Only if you turn it on: the README says the double-click and drag-select automatic lookups exist in the settings UI but both default to off, and toggling them persists.
