I did exactly the way you have described it to do. Now my DOCK crashes and doesn’t appear whatsoever. How can I fix this?

If you want several of these icons, just repeat that command in Terminal a few times before running ‘killall Dock’…

Personally, I’ve got four of them (Recent Apps, Recent Docs, Fav Apps, Fav Volumes) down near the trash can…

Now if only I could somehow get them to the extreme LEFT OF THE DOC by the Finder icon, where my mouse-hand tendencies first looks for them! (Hoping to overcome that ‘Start button’ muscle memory…)

Dictionary works in 1.5.2. Says “no entries found” when looking up CTRL.

Does anyone know if you can make more than one of these items in the dock (one for apps and one for docs?) instead of switching between them?

I tried this… and now my dock won’t start! If I look at ‘top’ in the terminal it looks like ReportCrash keeps running… leading me to believe that the Dock keeps crashing over and over again.

Is there a way to remove this without the dock needing to start?

Just ‘right click’ the word and click the dictionary contextual item, voila!

Not on unrecognised words it doesn’t. It should at least acknowledge that you’ve done something, not leave you sitting there wondering if you got the combination right.

I just did the CTRL+CMD+D

It works in Leopard 10.5.1

The cynic in me believes that Apple hides these useful features just to keep the various tech blogs talking about them. It is very cool though, I’ll give you that.

By the way, has anyone noticed that the ctrl+cmd+d dictionary shortcut no longer works as well in Leopard? If you do it on an unrecognised word, it no longer shows any response (used to just tell you it was unrecognised). Some words, like ‘vapidly’, show up in the dictionary app but give no response with the shortcut in Leopard.
