Tiger Bits: Dictionary Shortcut

It's not working for me on my Macs with Japanese set as their language (which is a bummer since my Japanese employees could use this). It's works on my English machines though

Worked for me in past Now doesn't work. Dashboard dictionary does work though. Anyonw else esperiencing this??

It still works for me...

Works in Tiger 10.4.2. Is there any chance that you have accidentally altered the keyboard shortcut (in System Prefs / Keyboard & Mouse / Shortcuts)? Not sure about the English names; I'm on a Swedish system.

Does anyone can confirm if this nice feature (Dictionary shortcut) have been inhibited on new Tiger's updates? Cant make it work anymore!!! LuiMa

The dictionary included is the New Oxford American Dictionary, 2e, which is about $60 US, not six bucks.

stops working if you move the "dictionary" app to anywhere other than the applications folder. just so you know.

"I just wish that OS X used the Oxford English Dictionary rather than the Oxford American." Do Tiger users in other countries have a dictionary in their native language (e.g., and Italian dictionary for Italian Tiger users)?

"Even the compact OED is about four-hundred bucks" -- san The online subscription is 195+VAT per year. But that's the full (multi-volume bookshelf sized) OED. The concise/pocket sized versions in paper form cost around 5-30. I'm willing to bet these are around the same size as the OAD included in Tiger (they are certainly a lot bigger than my pockets :) ).

#14: Switches from dictionary to thesaurus. In practice. In theory, I bet it will switch between any dictionaries installed in the proper manner. But the OAD and thesaurus are the only things installed by default.
