<![CDATA[Add "go to url" in search popup]]>Hi, I'd find quite convenient to have this feature:

When you select some text the search popup appears with two options: "search" and "copy", and I love this feature.
In case the selected text was an url but not a link (I mean it's something like www.example.com but without the <a> html tag), it would be nice to have also a "go to" option in the popup.

If you right-click your selection you get the "go to the address" option, so basically the code is already there.
I don't know if it could be a 3rd option or maybe replace the "search" option.

Thank you for considering this.

Federico

  • Install "Install Chrome Extensions" ... a valuable Opera Addon

  • Install "Custom Right-Click Menu" from the Chrome Store

  • Open the Options for Custom Right-Click Menu

  • In the Editing the CRM section, select Selection

  • Scroll down to Commonly Used Search Engines, and add one

  • It adds that search engine in the Editing the CRM section. Click on it, not on its gear, to edit it.

  • Change the name to "Go to %s"

  • Change the code to

    var query;
    var url = "%s";
    if (crmAPI.getSelection()) {
    query = crmAPI.getSelection();
    } else {
    query = window.prompt('Please select some text');
    }
    if (query) {
    window.open(url.replace(/%s/g,query), '_blank');
    }

Search popup is subset of context menu, so it has no extensible.

But I guess it must not get too crowdy. I'm not sure but it perhaps seems that it's gone a bit smaller due to upcoming unit converter and share...

For me "go to address" (in new tab) popup would be much more useful than conversion or share I think. Hmmm.
