TIL that I can use Force Touch on Mac to look up text to show more information such as definitions, wikipedia pages, movies, music, podcasts etc. I accidentally force touched a lot of times but because I didn't intend to, I never really read what's in the look up popup.

My default mode of looking up is to launch a private browser window and google search the text. That usually ends up with me reading the Wikipedia page. Now, I can just force touch the text, read the Wikipedia preview and only then dive into reading the full page if I find it interesting.

I learned this when reading the Ghostty documentation.
