Version: Exet v0.92, June 6, 2024

  • Remove the "Clear light" button. Add it as a choice in the Edit menu. This creates space frothe "Web sources" button.
  • Add a "Web sources" button to find additional grid-fill possibilities.
    • This button replaces the 'Clear light' button. Clearing the current light is now a choice in the Edit menu (just above "Clear all the lights!). The keyboard shortcut for it (Ctrl-q) is probably the more convenient way to clear the current light.
    • The extra sources are added via a configurable list of entries in exetConfig.webFills in exet.html. I've used Nutrimatic, Onelook, and Qat as the web sources.
    • Clicking on the Web sources button brings up a modal panel under it, which shows the matching results in an iframe. Note that these sources are cross-domain sources, so Exet can't directly access their data, so you have to manually enter into the grid a choice that you find there and deem acceptable. But given that using web sources would be a rare last-resort, this should be OK.
    • The button and the modal panel have a distinctive background color (lavender), to underscore the fact that these are not normal lexicon results. A caveat is also shown.
  • Add a link to the Exlve-Exet-Etc Google Group to README,md as well as about-exet.html.
