the link explains, how to set up custom searches in Chrome for example typing "wp shark" into the address bar opens "shark" in Wikipedia with the appropriate definition for WP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%s) it would be great, if such custom searches could be assigned to text drags

... great That works for Simple (text) Drags as well as for Mouse Gestures/Actions for the selected text

Since I have 10 search options defined for texts (Wikipedia, Google, Prices, Translations, ...) this makes the issue of memorizing that many gesture patterns even more pressing. I provided some thoughts here: https://github.com/zimocode/smartup/issues/204#issue-1147279604

Without a quick access to an gestures overview ("master gesture" and keyboard shortcut) it is impossible to memorize and efficiently use more than 6-10 gestures. 2022-03-28 22-48-15 PC-B captured
