“Look up” is a macOS feature that can look up a word in the system Dictionary or Wikipedia. It can be activated by force-clicking or tapping with three fingers on a trackpad Mac, and by a right-click menu options in some apps (Firefox isn’t one of them) on all Macs. It is distinct from search.
- wodenokoto 6y agoThe problem with force clicking is that the user doesn’t get to decide the string that is passed to the dictionary, instead a word boundary algorithm decides the word. This algorithm doesn’t work very well on CJK-languages.
