Please add few more options on right click for selected text. Following are the suggested ones:

  • Search This Text In Internal Browser
  • Search This Text in External Tool

Reason For This Request

Sometimes there are texts of which we need to find meaning. So, instead of hassle of Copy an pasting the text, It may directly move us to the required position. Which means, Open search engine and post the text into it and search for it.

Just as what Chrome Does when we right-click on a selected text.

Which means, Open (default)search engine and post the text into it and search for it.

Sorry, I'll explain what is in my mind about it.

"Search This Text in External Tool" has the following steps:

  1. Allows us to select desired tool: Which in this case is a browser (because I have set chrome as external tool). To ensure whether it is a browser, maybe add a check for it and show only the browser.
  2. Once browser opened, put the text in search bar of (default) search engine (in case of Chrome it is essentially Google) and search for it.
