Tiger has lots of new features. Many I haven’t discovered yet, but The Apple Blog has recently discovered one. It intergrates the dictionary into the system, without open the dictionary app.

A couple of months ago, a coworker of mine showed me Tiger’s really cool “mouse over” dictionary. Hold command control and hit d. Then mouse over just about any word in any Cocoa app, and a definition of the word pops-up below it. I can’t seem to snag a screenshot of it. It keeps disappearing!

This feature is simply another view into Tiger’s “Dictionary Service”, also accessible from /Applications/Dictionary.app, and corresponding Dashboard Widget.

Its a very nice feature, and lets you check a word without opening up dictionary.
