Typically, the control-command-d shortcut is used to <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/HT201236#text\">show or hide the definition of the selected word<\/a>, and indeed this works in Safari to show the Dictionary definition when hovering over non-link text. So the link preview behavior of the keyboard shortcut was a surprise, at least to me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This was new to me, too. It doesn&rsquo;t work on my main Mac, even with a safe boot, so I guess it&rsquo;s controlled by an unknown setting that I somehow turned off.
