Web search from highlighted text

Open ehahn9 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Describe the solution you'd like Like terminal or iTerm2, it would sure be wonderful to be able to issue a web search from any highlighted selection.

Describe alternatives you've considered On mac, perhaps something like shift+command+f (plus a menu choice)?

Additional context Would use the user's default browser, hopefully.


Apologies if this is already possible (I looked, but didn't see...)

hey @ehahn9, can you please elaborate the issue for further discussion.
(For Windows users specially)

Sure! Although ugly IMHO, here's how the built-in terminal app on Mac does it:

  1. Highlight some text
  2. Right click
  3. See the popup which has "Search with Google" (For hyper, I'd suggest that "Web Search" is much better)
