Since currently the pop-up window functionality of GoldenDict-ng is kind of bugged on KDE, this script might help.
You'll need kdotool and wl-clipboard. Add the script to the KDE menu and set a global keyboard shortcut. The shortcut will also work if the clipboard is empty (just showing GoldenDict).
#GoldenDict

#!/bin/bash WINDOW_ID=$(kdotool search --name "GoldenDict-ng") ACTIVE_ID=$(kdotool getactivewindow) if [ "$WINDOW_ID" == "$ACTIVE_ID" ]; then # Window is active and on top kdotool -q search --name "GoldenDict-ng" windowclose else # Window is either hidden, minimized, or in the background goldendict "$(wl-paste --primary)" # will grab the whole selection; remove quotes for the first word only kdotool -q search --name "GoldenDict-ng" windowactivate fi exit 0
