If you are using Mac, you can consult the system's built-in dictionaries (including thesauruses) for a word in CT (whether in the source or target) with a three-finger tap on the Magic Mouse or Trackpad.

Not here, not under Yosemite. Probably because Igor stole the context menu.

I don't have a trackpad, and I checked the settings for the Magic Mouse, and it's not available. Besides, I think it's related to the context menu, and contrary to popular belief, CT isn't a particularly good Mac citizen: The OS X context menu isn't accessible in CT (among many other things).

Can you provide a screenshot it does work with the Magic TrackPad in CT?

OK, so it seems to be a MM "problem."
