Slack for Mac: Want to right-click a word to look it up like nearly every other Mac application? Nope, you don't get to do that. Want to turn off smart quotes or something similar using the standard method of right-clicking the text entry field? Nope.

These things _used_ to work in the Slack app. What happened?

FWIW, I don't have any of those issues in the Linux client. As of right now (in 4 orgs), it's using <10% memory as well, which is a common complaint on other platforms. At least on this platform, I am pleasantly surprised at the quality compared to native apps. I hope it improves on other platforms if there are issues there.
