    For years one of my absolute favorite things about the Mac trackpad was being able to 3-finger-tap while hovering the mouse over a particular word, and then the Mac would define that word for me in a small pop-up dictionary window.

    Autofill one at a time?

    Not sure if this is an OSX question or a Chrome question but... Is there a way to autofill one entry at a time instead of changing all possible entries on a page at once?

    I have found I am able to export HD videos I open in quicktime to HEVC. This option is not available on SD videos and the like. Is there a manual way to convert any video to HEVC? As far as I can tell the command line avconvert program does not support HEVC.
