I've been a Mac user for a very long time and I think I just learned my new favorite shortcut from this massive post about macOS shortcuts.
Now, English isn't my first language and I still need to look up words daily. Usually, I use Google Translate or Raycast for this, but today I learned the macOS Dictionary app (which I barely use) provides inline help.
You can bring it up with ⌘⌃D
(D
for dictionary).
And because this functionality comes from an official macOS app, the shortcut works in the browser, PDFs, Slack, etc.
Whoa! I'm amazed. 😱
Side note: someone pointed out that this inline help also shows up when doing a force click on the Mac trackpad, but I have most of the trackpad magic turned off because it drives me nuts.
