myDictionaryLauncher
So I’ve written a small tool that automatically launches Dictionary.app.
I know - every native speaker stepping by here immediately starts to cry. But you need to know - the first thing I always did, when the new school year started, was to figure out how many days I can cut classes without getting expelled and to search for dates when it really makes sense to be ‘unexpected’ ill in bed.
Well, I had my fun but my English skills (and lots of other skills you normally learn in school - if present) have been the prime mourners. Thats why I can’t live without the Dictionary.app. It’s the most often used app of mine. 95% of all mails (and I’ve to answer hundreds of them on a daily basis) require me trying to write something that may be inadvertently interpreted as something kinda English…
So I’ve written a small tool that automatically launches Dictionary.app, and if needed - defining the word copied before to clipboard by Global Hotkey. Thats all it does. But it is so time saving for me - maybe one of you could use it as well…
