Paste and Go Key Extension

Adds a keyboard shortcut to paste the clipboard into the URL bar of the current tab or a new tab and loads it if it is a URL or otherwise searches for it. The search function is disabled by default and the search engine that is used can be changed in the settings.

Notes:
- The keyboard shortcut can be changed through the \"Keyboard shortcuts\" tab in the browser's Extensions page.
- If the search URL is left blank then searches will be done using the browser's default search engine.

Sam Clayton (ID: 000000919aaaa889) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/14/2023 Despite the description stating that the key is "changeable", I can't find any way in the options dialog to configure the hotkey. On my Mac, it's just Cmd-Shift-V. That's fine, but not what's advertised.
