Quick Tip for OSX Bloggers

If you use the built-in Dictionary facilities of your Mac while creating content, you probably know about Ctrl-Command-D. You can use this key combo to look up a word in the built-in dictionary. Well, turns out that after you look up the initial word, you can keep holding Ctrl-Command (ie: let go of D key) and as long as you move the mouse around, your mac will look up the active word (under cursor) in it’s dictionary. Neat!!!

  11. Hi, great blog!

    I’ve just put a link to your blog on mine, check it out its still pretty new: Boldinvestors! Its a technology blog which I focus on the business aspects of tech.

    Thanks.

  16. Wow, thanks for the tip . . . .I could actually use that often.

  21. This is SO over my head, it is not even funny. :(

  22. Wait… control-command-D doesn’t work when I hit the keys.

    What… am I doing wrong? Or is it just… What the hell is going on? :P

  23. English Man,

    You’re probably trying it in a unsupported app. Maybe Camino?

    Try it in Apple Mail or Safari or something like that. It works (Assuming you have OSX 10.3+…..right?)

    TTYL
