Documentation

The dictionary to lookup words for dictionary-tooltip-mode(var)/dictionary-tooltip-mode(fun).

If this is nil, dictionary-tooltip-mode(var)/dictionary-tooltip-mode(fun) is effectively disabled: no tooltips will be shown. If the value is t, dictionary-tooltip-mode(var)/dictionary-tooltip-mode(fun) will use the same dictionary as specified by dictionary-default-dictionary. Otherwise, the value should be a string, the name of a dictionary to use, and can use the same special values * and ! as for dictionary-default-dictionary, with the same meanings. Dictionary names are generally specific to the servers, and are obtained via dictionary-dictionaries.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 30.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 28.1.
