OS X supports three-finger "Look up" tap to look up words in a dictionary. Very useful when learning languages, for example. Unfortunately it doesn't work in Brave.

(Look up could also be invoked by cmd-ctrl-d.)

If you are not familiar with this feature, here it is in Google Chrome:

Version: 0.8.0
Electron: 0.36.8
libchromiumcontent: 47.0.2526.110
Channel: dev
OS X 10.11

Some probably related bugs:

It seems to be a bug with Electron <webview>. I've submitted an issue: electron/electron#4772

Since #1627 (Look Up in the context menu) has already been implemented, we just need Brave to recognize the three finger gesture.

Update: With the current master (rev b288e18, 0.13.0 dev), now the Dictionary app opens with the search term "http". This behavior probably changed with Chromium 54.

With chromium54 change (since 0.13.0), three finger tap or control + command + d will open a empty Dictionary.app but still needs a fix.
I believe this is what @bbondy discovered in #7043 and it is not limited in input field.

I was definitely using the Lookup option from the context menu, so it could be I was doing something wrong at the time in addition to that, or using a wrong build somehow or something like that, or an intermittent bug.
