As revealed in Johns Tip today, one can access a list of osx’s dictionary by hitting the ‘esc’ key or the ‘F5′ key from any Cocoa Application, including Mail, iChat, Textedit and many more. This is really a great help to native speakers and foreign speakers alike. I haven’t tried this out in the word processors native to OSX (Pages, Word and NeoOffice) as I use docs.google.com for word processing, but I have tried it on forms under safari and it comes in truly useful when commenting a posting to wordpress.
