Say what?! None of those work, so I did the Select with Autocopy Extension and paste into the Dictionary widget :D

Yeah, it is cool, except for the pricetag that comes with it :( And now I have to go read the manual to figure out which button is actually the ALT one and which is CONTROL :p

I hate those glossy screens ... bad memories of a Fujitsu Siemens with one of those screens

I hate those glossy screens ... bad memories of a Fujitsu Siemens with one of those screensThe command (Apple key) is to the left (and right) of the space bar
alt/option is sandwiched between the ctrl on the left and command (apple) on the right.
