How do I copy and paste dictionary lookup? I use shortcut Command Control D to lookup the word I want but am unable to copy definition. Why?

Whats the purpose of a keyboard shortcut if you cannot utilize it?

You can use it to open the definition in place.

I have to open the dictionary app from within the popup and copy the definiton by dragging my cursor.

Correct

Is there a shortcut to copy definitions?

No.

I think the only direct option is to take a screen shot (e.g. via shift command 5)
