Translate selected text immediately

Similar chrome extension has very usable functionality. Translate text immediately after selection if combination of trigger buttons(ctrl, alt, shit) hold. You can hold ctrl, select text and it will translate immediately.

Lets implement it

Ctrl-shift+1 was the key for this but it gives an empty browser tab now. Google was warning that you must log in in future to use translate, I wonder if this is connected?

I think it is not same trigger. With chrome extension I can use trigger button with text selection. IMO it's simpler

I was using ctrl-shift+1 to initiate the translate text extension powered by google. Now it doesn't work. The trigger has not changed and still gives a response but not the desired one.
