I’ve got the hang of using custom contextual menus for various inputs like the TextArea
control.
From everything I’ve read and experimented with, when adding a custom Context Menu on macOS, your new menu replaces the built-in Context Menu (it appears to be an either/or kind of thing). And on macOS that means loosing the fancy “extra” options that get included on standard Context Menus (depending on the control).
Loosing those fancy options is both good and annoying, depending on the situation. So now I’m looking on how to keep or add just one of those fancy macOS options - namely the local Dictionary “Look Up” MenuItem, as shown below.
Either I’m just doing things wrong, but is there a way to keep or add just that one “Look Up” menu option? Either via Declares or MBS? I searched and read and now my head aches, a lot.
Many of the other fancy options could be replicated I’m sure, but the Lookup one seems kinda special - and I’ve always really liked that feature of macOS, so I’d like to include it in my app(s), where applicable.
Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.
