  Changed the keys for lookups
I was alerted to the fact one can't capture the shift or capslock on MAC firefox. So now it uses l or c (see above). The shift/capslock keys still work though.

12/25 Today, the front page does not have any pop ups. I actually liked the other method better as it translated the words by just putting the mouse in front. In the new method, I have to be careful to select the first Kanji or else it will just translate the second Kanji and not give me the full meaning of the word. This can get tiring after a while. As well, I feel there is too much information about the kanji on the page and it takes longer to show up on the page. My goal is to quicky find out what the word is. I guess, if you wanted to know the 25 different ways to pronounce 1 kanji then this is worth it.
 
I actually like the fact that you can choose the initial kanji, otherwise in some compounds the script could pick the wrong one. And it's great that it displays so many info and checks hiragana as well, so I don't have to continuously switch to the online dict when I'm translating something ^^
I like this version a lot, now Rikai managed to become even more useful than before! :D It saves so much of my time ^^ Thanks again for bothering about Mac users :)
