updated 2022-04-29. Does that mean that it is somehow available
again? If
so, how to I get it?
It probably got recompiled during the mass recompiling for Apple
Silicon, but I think it’s still incompatible with recent versions of
macOS.
FYI, it looks like the Dictionary app supports a `dict:` URL scheme, so
you could add a custom web search to Quicksilver for `dict://***` and
then use the **Find With…** or **Search For…** actions. Once that
search is defined (assuming you name it “Dictionary”), you can also
create a trigger for “Current Selection ⇥ Find With… ⇥
Dictionary”. (Although I’d argue just using the built-in ⌃⌘D is
easier.)
