I have multiple dictionaries selected in Dictionary.app but osx-dictionary only displays search result from one of them.

Is there a way to fix this?

This package only can display a result from one dictionary (and you can't choose which one).

Is there a way to fix this?

I don't believe so, at least I have no idea how to fix.

Seems like you used to have a function that does this. Wonder if Mojave or Catalina supports this.

OSX actually provides CtrlCmdd to lookup dictionary.app words in a pop up window. Somehow, this kbd doesn't work on Emacs.

CtrlCmdd

I usually use 3 finger tap for this

doesn't work on Emacs

The official GNU Emacs doesn't support this, but Mitsuharu Yamamoto's Emacs Mac Port does support.

this is due to osx-dictionary-cli command shows only the results of the first dict.

below screenshot shows the setting in Dictionary.app. if I moved the "wikipedia" on top of "Oxford dictionary", I will get the results from Wikipedia. there seems no way of getting results from multiple dictionaries without installing additional tools.
