wordevents
This is a mootools plugin which allows to listen for word typed events, and execute given callbacks if the word belongs to a given dictionary. Dictionary can be populated with words or regular expressions. Instead of listening for single chars, wordevents can listen for words (a word is considered to be a set of characters typed with a time interval minor than the digit_interval option). Callbacks functions are called passing the list of events which formed the word, the word itself and binded to the target element.
