Adds a Ctrl + Click shortcut to perform an internet search for selected highlighted text in a new tab.
Ctrl + Click Highlight Search Shortcut Extension
Additional Settings:
Hold Mouse + Press Ctrl Mode (Default Off):
Enabling this mode allows you to search by highlighting text and pressing Ctrl—without releasing the mouse button. Note that this may interfere with keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V.
Always Use Google (Default On):
When turned on, all searches are done using Google, and the resulting tab is opened immediately to the right of the current one. If you turn this setting off, the extension will use your default search engine instead. In that case, the new tab might appear at the end of your tab strip, but the extension will then move it next to your current tab.
Additional Keyboard Shortcut:
