# Vault Dictionary

Vault Dictionary is an Obsidian plugin that automatically highlights and displays definitions for specific words throughout your notes. It enables you to build a personal dictionary and seamlessly view definitions for matching words in both Live Preview and Reading Mode.

## Features

- **Automatic Highlighting**: Automatically highlights words found in your dictionary across your vault without needing manual links.
- **Live Preview & Reading Mode**: Works seamlessly whether you are actively editing your notes in Live Preview or viewing them in Reading Mode.
- **Quick Add**: Select any text, right-click, and choose "Add to Dictionary" to quickly define a new term.
- **Settings Dashboard**: Easily manage your dictionary entries, search for specific terms, edit descriptions, and sort them directly from the plugin settings.
- **JSON Storage**: Your dictionary is safely stored in `.obsidian/vault-dictionary.json`, allowing for easy manual editing, syncing, and backups.

## Usage

1. **Adding Words**: You can add entries from **Settings > Vault Dictionary** or by selecting any text in your editor, right-clicking, and selecting **Add to Dictionary**.
2. **Viewing Definitions**: Once added, the words will be automatically highlighted in your notes.
