How to merge two dictionaries

textpad-fan · Post by **textpad-fan** » Mon Feb 01, 2016 2:16 pm

I use both English and German, many times both languages in a same file and found it is an annoyance to switch dictionaries back and forth.
Is it possible to merge two dictionaries?
Thanks

It's not possible to merge dictionaries in different languages, as it could result in a lot of conflicts. Microsoft and google haven't found a way to do it, so we'll not be pioneers with such a feature in TextPad. Sorry to have to disappoint you.

Thanks Keith for your response. Now, it would be great to have some means to switch dictionaries on the fly. As coded it requires several clicks to switch from one dict into another and the whole procedure restarts from the top, which results impractical.
