It would be wonderful if via a hotkey we could automatically pipe terms and phrases to one of the addressed Firefox extension search engines. This is already already in place for the pre-set search bar location via a HighlightTerm->RightClick->SearchXXX technique. What would be extremely useful is if a person could press a hotkey and have a term automatically highlight and the options shown for all registered search areas in the form of a hyperlink style. Much like some sites that offer up Javascript popups or like manner. | It would be wonderful if via a hotkey we could automatically pipe terms and phrases to one of the addressed Firefox extension search engines.

== Mouse middle button for cut & paste == | |||
if the user clicks the middle button in somethig that is not a link then: | |||
if it is clicked over hightlighted text, copy that text to clipboard | |||
else if it is clicked in a textbox and nohing is highlighted then paste. | |||
I believe I would really use this a lot, many many times a day. | |||
I never, never, NEVER use the middle button to scroll the page. | |||
For that I have: | |||
* a scroll whell | |||
* scroll bars | |||
* 8 keys in the keyboard: | |||
page down | |||
page up | |||
home | |||
end | |||
up arrow | |||
down arrow | |||
left arrow | |||
right arrow | |||
