Shortcut keys for selection search Extension

Keyboard shortcut keys:
1. Alt+1 -> Open google result of selected text in foreground tab.
2. Alt+Shift+1 -> Open google result of selected text in background tab.
*Shortcut keys are editable at chrome://extensions/shortcuts

**For Chromebook users** (maybe also Mac OS users)
The Alt+1 key will click the first icon in the Shelf, and it will not work on Chrome browser.

In the setting page, the right box should be \"In Chrome\".
(Input chrome://extensions/shortcuts in the address bar and press Enter to open a setting page.)

Jin Zhang (ID: 0000008a31b47ef1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/15/2022 life saver extension. I mean, back to the days before I started using Chrome, every Chinese browser has this simple mouse gesture. I've been using right click and search google for xxx for years. I'm fed up!
