Executing website search from clipboard contents
Roje > 2022-11-02 04:33
Hey folks. I'd like to do the following:
- Copy a piece of text to the clipboard
- Use a QAP hotkey that will execute a Google translate (or any translate engine) on my clipboard contents in my browser
How would I set up this function please? -

I have a Favorite of type App with an application of C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe (or your preferred browser)
with Parameters of https://www.google.com/search?q="{clipboard}" which works well for me and other similar searches -

Hi Jean
Thank you so much for the prompt response! Much appreciated.
I just wish to add that I am a HUGE fan of QAP, and a huge fan of yours as well. I love the software, and love your Youtube videos as well. I'm just surprised that this tool has not been more widely marketed, as it is immensely powerful. Rest assured though that I am gradually introducing this to all my corporate friends in the meantime!
Keep up the super work!
Best
