Lifehacker (one the few blogs that I read with consistently excellent content) had two wonderful tips today:
  • Clever Keys - This is a program that lets you do a search (of your choice) for a particular selected word, in just about any application. Simple highlight the word, hit the designated hotkey (default is Ctrl+L, but that is easily changed), it will fire up your browser of choice, and display the result. I have the default search set as Google. The other main function brings up a menu of different possible searches. Fortunately, it is easy to add additional search engines.

  • Freeware Genius - This is the site where Lifehacker found out about Clever Keys. It has more than a few useful/interesting applications currently listed.
