Hi, is there an existing keyboard short cut to look up highlighted word in a document without right-click and select "Look up selected word" or 'Edit / Look up' from the Menu bar? These steps take it to the Dictonary.com which gives the meaning of the selected word. Is there is not keyboard short cut already defined or is there a way to create one?
I use Pro DC on Mac.
Thanks for your help!

No, and no. However, you can do it relatively quickly using this set of shortcuts:
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+F, Ctl+V, Enter. Repeat pressing Enter to move to the next matches.

Ctrl+F shortcut is to find a word within in the document. I am looking for a keyboard shortcut in place of of using mouse to select and highlight a word, right click and then "Look up selected word".

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood.
In that case you can use the following combination:
Alt+E, O

Yes, Windows only, I'm afraid.
