E46: Cannot change read-only variable "a:orgArgs"

Hi, I've got this error message when executing :StarDictCursor over the word "throughly". Despite the annoying message, definition still was displayed.

Hi @oblitum thank you for using the plugin. There seems to be some changes in the way deepcopy() function works in Vim 8.0, which introduces this error.

To suppress the annoying error message, you can map your :StarDictCursor command as follow:

nnoremap <localleader>sc :silent! StarDictCursor<CR>

Please let me know if this work-around works. I will spend some time to further investigate the issue.

Hi, thanks for looking into this, the workaround should work but I don't use any mapping since I rarely use the plugin, so I just prefer to execute the command. I'll wait for the fix. Thanks.

Thanks, it worked for me!
