I use a very nice CAT program (computer aided translation) called OmegaT and often like to highlight a word, go up to Services and then click on Look up in Dictionary (which is then set up with a number of dictionary/wiktionary/wikipedia plugins).
Is there any way to set up a keyboard short cut to do this instead of always having to go up to OmegaT -> Services -> Look up in Dictionary with my mouse?
I've tried just opening System Prefs and assigning a keyboard shortcut for the option 'Look up in Dictionary' (I've disabled the one for 'Search in Google' and would like to use it) and associating this with my choosen app (OmegaT), but so far, when I save the shortcut, System Prefs crashes out and wants to send a report off to Apple.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

I actually own a paperback dictionary, it's sitting on my bookshelf where it has been collecting dust for quite a long time. The reason is that OS X offers a dictionary application, a Dashboard Widget to help you without flipping through pages of tiny text.
OS X Lion offers you the ability to look up the definition of any word you can select in native applications like Safari, Mail or TextEdit. Simply select the word you wish to look-up by double-clicking it, right-click and choose 'Look up…' from the contextual menu. Bluebeam ipad crash.
The resulting pop-up displays results from Dictionary and Wikipedia, and clicking the results allows you to view more about the definition.
