No option of mac dictionary appear when using internal pdf viewer
I need mac dictionary options such as translate or defination to help me read, but it disable in internal pdf viewer. Instead, there are just zotero application options when i choose a word.

adamlundbergI second this feature request. MacOS has a built in feature (which works in most apps) to right-click on a word and look it up in the built in dictionary. Would be great to have this feature work in Zotero's pdf reader.

after5amAlso have the same request! Being able to look up word's meaning is really necessary for me to read heavy workload of articles in the time I have. Please consider adding this feature. It would really be a game-changer.

martynas_bThere are technical issues why this can't be added to right-click context menu, but you can use Cmd-Control-d or Force Touch over the desired word.

after5amThank you for the explanation! It's sad that the inside right-click menu could not blend in with the apple original one, but now I know what alternative I got. Thx!

kghadge@martynas_b I don't see any effect of Cmd-Control-d or Force Touch over the desired word on my Macbook M1. How is it supposed to work?

martynas_b@kghadge Try another PDF file. Some PDF files have issues with text layer or don't have it at all.

rodighieroIn the trackpad settings, set "Look up and data detectors" to "Tap with Three Fingers." It works perfectly to me.
