the app ive been searching for!!!
Sometimes, instead of the selected phrase, it searches for 'undefined,' for example, when I select the text of the comments below.
This is an awesome extension - quick hotkeys for basic search functions
Great extension
Just to test it, here in this same extension page, in the Chrome Web Store, I select the word "Hotkeys" from the extension title, press Alt+Q, and I get a Google search for the word "Undefined". I haven't tested it much more, but clearly it didn't work on the first try, I don't know how often I might have to keep pressing Ctrl+C, Ctrl+T, Ctrl+V and Enter if this keeps failing.

Best in class, simple and easy to understand under the hood If you need it. I personally changed the search in Google Images for Google Translate.

I wonder if it would be possible that i select text in developer mode and the extension works. Indeed, that's what i wanted at first. The extension is very good, although sometimes it doesn't work, for example, when i select "Hotkeys for Search" in this page.

ТО ЧТО НУЖНО ! Не ясно почему этого нет по-умолчанию в Хроме
Very convenient extension to streamline browsing experience when you need to search fragments from text being read.

BUG report: i can successfully modify a couple of the already existing hotkeys (e.g. "alt+a") to my own websites of preference BUT after every system restart or log out in linux systems at least ( im running ubuntu 19.10) it rolls back on its default settings and i would have to manually set them up again

Very useful extension, made my daily work routine very easier. Thank you very much Juuso! I suggest showing the current binds on settings tab instead of the "Website 1 (Default: <bind here>)".

please add a feature: if selected text is a valid URL, just open it directly.

Works well enough, but I would like my searches to open in a background tab, allowing me to continue selecting-and-searching on my currently active tab.
