Turn off Helper "Dictionary"

Updated:

Dec 3, 2019

Hello everyone,

Welcome back! 
On you Mac laptop, have you ever clicked on a word in a document and before you can even respond, MacOS pops up a helper "Dictionary" to tell you the meaning and provide a Thesaurus?

Well, I'm here to tell you that you can turn this off it you wish to. It's all related to "haptic" feedback in your trackpad. So go on over to your System Preference application (in your Dock or in Launchpad)...

Then go to the settings for your trackpad and look at the last checkbox for "Force Click and haptic feedback". You can uncheck this option and the annoying pop-ups will go away.

Hope this helps you!
