Create shortcup for ‘Look Up’ pop-up

Tags: Mac

Hi, I would like to better utilise ‘Look Up’, the current shorcut is ‘control+cmnd+D’, this is an awkward shape for my hand. I’ve looked in System settings to change it but only found ‘Look Up in Dictionary’, but this opens the whole window, not just the popover.

Does anyone know how I would change the short cut for ‘Look up’ popover to ‘cmnd+shift+space’ as I use ‘Quick Look’ all the time and the space bar is nice and big to aim for.

Essentially I want to make a ‘Quick Look’ but for words, with the ‘Look Up’ popover.

Thanks in advance!

I use AHK to make my own keyboard shortcuts.
