10.4: Use the Oxford Dictionary 'live'
Authored by: heliosnorf on May 03, '05 09:25:42PM

Well, Apple screwed up.. I use the dvorak keyboard layout instead of qwerty, and sure enough, command-control-d *doesn't* work for me. I had to think for a minute to remember where the 'd' key should be on a qwerty keyboard (it's the 'e' key on my keyboard), and sure enough - command-control-e *does* work. So this hint should be changed to command-control-third key from the left in the middle. That is assuming you use a normal keyboard of course. ;-)

Keyboard prefs, my friend. You'll note that we Dvorak users are simply listed as Command-Control-E. Change it to D, and you're all set.

Note to you PowerBook QWERTY users -- much easier to hit the "H" key (D for us) since it's on the right hand while Command-Control are on the left. One more good reason to give Dvorak a spin.

Yeah, but it's interesting that it's mapped to the "D" key in Dvorak; in other words, the key that shows as D on my keyboard (which, in my Dvorak layout, is E).
