Guide
How do you search text you’ve selected?
Select text in any app, press one shortcut, and take it to the site you choose.
Three steps
- Select the text. Any app works: a browser, document, chat window or code editor.
- Press the shortcut. The default is Ctrl + Space, changeable in Settings. The selected text is already in the search bar.
- Pick a website app. Click an icon, or press Enter to use your default.
What if you can’t select the text?
For text you can’t select (images, screenshots, video frames), press Ctrl + Shift + Space and capture an area. The recognized text goes straight into the search bar. Requires sign-in and uses your monthly allowance.
Does reading text touch my clipboard?
SeekHop reads selected text directly where it can; otherwise it briefly copies and tries to restore your clipboard. If reading still fails, type the text instead.
