GoldenDict Forum

can I do that with golden dict and if not can I add this feature to the program by myself , I am programmer .

Middle-click is not currently supported by GoldenDict. The options available are in Edit > Preferences > Scan Popup.
If you use Windows, you might use AutoHotkey as a workaround as explained here viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1431&p=7503&hilit=middle#p7503
Hotkeys and ScanPopup are the only functionality in GoldenDict that are not cross-platform, i.e., they are implemented in a different way for each platform (Linux, Windows).
You can download the source code from https://github.com/goldendict/goldendict and start looking at "goldendict\mouseover_win32" files.

Contributions are welcome

I am using kubuntu 12.04 and I want to add this feature so what is the best ide to open the project or do I have to open each file seperately ?

My recommendation is that you use the official IDE: Qt Creator. You can get it from your package manager or from http://qt.nokia.com/downloads
I have installed both way and they work with no hassle.

GoldenDict is coded in C++ with the Qt framework to be cross-platform but the hotkey functionality is platform-specific as far as I know.

Good luck!

thanks , I'll try that soon
