Update! Tom Wright sent me an updated script for it with a preview pane! I’ve updated the original JS file!
OK, so I’ve been slacking lately… But I found I had need of a thesaurus and figured ubiquity would be a great place to start. The command is simply “thesaurus word” and it opens up a thesaurus.reference.com page with the, you guessed it, word
. Not sure how much time it will save, but it is nice for pulling up quick references. Future revisions will include a preview pane… Maybe.

Installed it and used it and it worked. Should I ever need a thesaurus I know where to go now!
Sooo, where is it?
It is still at the original location, just been updated.
How do you insert the link rel tag in WordPress without it being eaten by the rich text editor?
I believe I simply did my final submit outside of rich edit mode.
Hey, this is great, I’ve been using it at work and just stopped by to subscribe to it on my box at home. Big thank you!
Hi Randall,
I’m glad it’s working for you
.
Excellent, thanks for this, though it looks like in its current form I’m seeing antonyms listed first followed directly by synonyms. A bit odd.
The perfection of this command would be the option to choose a synonym and insert/replace selected input text in the browser.
Go ubiquity.
Now you should make the preview look like the Thinkmap Visual Thesaurus.
I’m sure it’s trivial to code…
I found this useful, thanks. I hacked it to work with Ubiquity 0.5 (and credit Tom Wright, since it looked like you wanted to do that). Would you please replace the script? http://pastebin.com/f68e136ac
Hey Justin,
Thanks a ton! I’ve updated the command with your script.
Very nice. Love the new preview function. Thanks!
Again: Where is it? I see no link to install it…………
OK, apparently I keep killing the command if I ever update the post. This should now happen again.
