Would be nice to have for example:

Name: Google Search
Web Link: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q={q}
popup box so one can type in a search etc.

BTW: Cool app.

Thank you.

Thanks for the good words.

What you describe can be done with the {Input} placeholder. See:
https://www.quickaccesspopup.com/can-i-i...ers/#input

In your case, you would create a "Link (URL)" favorite with the location:

Code:
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q={Input:Search for what?}
Thank you for pointing this out and dose exactly what I want, however, after the inputbox opens, if you click on the cancel or the X close buttons will not cancel / close the inputbox, but still opens the web link? or am I doing something wrong.
If after I open the inputbox and change my mind and click cancel or the X close buttons just want to close and not open the link?


I have:

Short name for menu: Google Search
Link (URL): https://www.google.co.uk/search?q={Input:Google Search?}

Thanks for the quick reply, again cool app.
This is true. The button cancels the input but not the snippet execution. I'll check this.
In the new release v11.5.7, the Cancel and X buttons of the {Input:...} placeholder dialog box now abort the execution of the snippet.

Work's great, thank you.
