What happened to "Right Click: (word) > Look Up" when you want to define a word?

@jripy Is that a Mac feature? On Windows, Opera Chromium never had such thing.

@jripy I've been having trouble reading articles because of this change as well. Can we request the developers to being this action back to Opera One for macOS?

Please bring the "Look Up" feature back for highlighted words. I just updated Opera and it is no longer in the menu options. I use this all of the time. It still works in all my other applications, just not Opera. This might be a deal breaker for me as far as choosing a browser is concerned.

@ecnalmagnus I agree, it's a vital feature for me as I always have to now use "Search" instead, which ruins the experience for me.

@leocg it is a Mac feature, and one that works in almost every other Mac application. It used to work in Opera, too, until the most recent update.

If the Opera devs don't get this fixed, and quickly, I am going to another browser that has this feature. I grew so accustom to having it with Opera, that it irritates my multiple times a day now. Please bring this feature back, Now. This works with every other browser that I have checked on my Mac, and it worked with Opera until just the latest update a few weeks ago.

All,

I was having the same problem and came across this posting. When I realized I wasn't alone, I looked into other options besides waiting for Opera to fix the problem.

On my install, at least, I can still select a word on screen and use cmd-ctl-D to look up the word in the dictionary. Problem solved!

I hope this works for everyone else.

You mean this?

If you click Explain briefly, Explore topic, Aria will come out and give you a reply. Or you'd get a translation, if that's what you want.

To get that you need to use Safari.
But, in Opera, you can get this,

Anyway, Opera's Aria is quite good at "looking up the words"

It is much faster with Aria. Less clicks. All you have to do is highlight the word, or a sentence, the popup will come and Aria will "explain briefly."
