Preventing the dictionary popup from appearing


  • Subject: Preventing the dictionary popup from appearing
  • From: patrick machielse <email@hidden>

Some parts of the UI of an application I'm working on are WebViews. When the mouse is over html/text displayed in these web views the user can display the inline word / dictionary popup by pressing command-control-d (or by using a 3 finger gesture).

Is there a way to prevent the dictionary popup in WebViews?

- None of the WebView delegates seem applicable (selection, drag and drop, and contextual menus are already disabled).
- There is API to trigger the dictionary and I can detect when the popup _after_ is has been displayed, but I can't seem to find the switch to turn this feature off.

Thanks,
patrick
