using zotero's built-in pdf

xymaoo
In the process of using zotero's built-in pdf, one of the pain points is that when I encounter unfamiliar words in pdf, I need to select them and copy them into the browser to search. I hope zotero can add the function of opening browser search by selecting words. Thx~

    If you happen to be working with a Mac, there is a (paid, ~$15) app called PopClip, which allows you to run 'actions' on selected text (examples include searching on search engines, translating to another language, or converting to lower/upper/title case, many more exist, over 200 to choose from). It works well in Zotero (both in PDF preview and for editing entries. In general, I've found it to be one of my better purchases that make day-to-day life better...

    On a Mac, in any application, you can three-finger tap or control-click to look up words in the dictionary
