Web search from highlighted text

[ehahn9]

Describe the solution you'd like
Like terminal or iTerm2, it would sure be wonderful to be able to issue a web search from any highlighted selection.

Describe alternatives you've considered
On mac, perhaps something like shift+command+f (plus a menu choice)?

Additional context
Would use the user's default browser, hopefully.

Apologies if this is already possible (I looked, but didn't see...)

hey @ehahn9,
can you please elaborate the issue for further discussion.
(For Windows users specially)

[ehahn9]

Sure! Although ugly IMHO, here's how the built-in terminal app on Mac does it:

1. Highlight some text
2. Right click
3. See the popup which has "Search with Google" (For hyper, I'd suggest that "Web Search" is much better)
