Look up computer jargon in the Terminal
Authored by: mercadal on Nov 26, '04 06:06:39PM

If you have internet access available, and want to look up terms in the Jargon File, try OmniDictionary.

Not only can it look up terms in the Jargon File, it also queries many other dictionaries, making it useful as a general purpose dictionary. Further, the sources queried can easily be singled out from one of the many available via a drop-down menu.

OmniDictionary

OmniDictionary can be invoked as a Service. Its default shortcut is command-= but since that too often conflicts with other shortcuts I changed it to command-control-=.
