Tiger Bits: Dictionary Shortcut

By C.K. Sample, III

If you are on Tiger, highlight place your cursor over any word in this post. Now, with the word highlighted hit Apple + Control + D. Instant dictionary definition. Well, nearly instant anyway. On my Powerbook G4, there is a slight delay that is just long enough for me to wonder if it is working immediately before it finally works. I like this feature. I just wish that OS X used the Oxford English Dictionary rather than the Oxford American.

Can anyone say LiveDictionary?
