Press Alt+G after selecting the text
;Google lookup
!g::
OldClipboard:= Clipboard
Clipboard:= ""
Send, ^c ;copies selected text
ClipWait
Run http://www.google.com/search?q=%Clipboard%
Sleep 200
Clipboard:= OldClipboard
Return
Edit: Part of the script had been converted to a link and was not showing properly. I've now edited this.
Hi guys,
This doesn't work for me either now I test it, but there is a script here in the AHK site that does work:
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;Google lookup
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
^!g::
prevClipboard := ClipboardAll
SendInput, ^c
ClipWait, 1
if !(ErrorLevel) {
Clipboard := RegExReplace(RegExReplace(Clipboard, "\r?\n"," "), "(^\s+|\s+$)")
If SubStr(ClipBoard,1,7)="http://"
Run, % Clipboard
else
Run, % "www.google.com/search Clipboard
}
Clipboard := prevClipboard
return
To make it work I have to press Ctrl+c to copy the text selected to my clipboard and then press Ctrl+Alt+g.

Hi Ivan,
Ivan: Nora's shortcut is ALT+F, not ALT+G.
Also, in my machine I needed to wait 4 seconds before pasting the text to make work. This works for me:
[…]
Run www.freetranslation.com/search
Sleep 4000

There is also another app on the appstore that can use the results as autosuggest so this might be even more useful!

This is absolutely true and I was thinking about it yesterday, although I've stopped using Web Lookup because things were just too crowded with the new 2017 features and opening Web Lookup results on a second monitor always seemed awkward. With this script I can have the search run on a second monitor without interfering with Studio. Maybe that would be a variation or option that we could suggest for the Web Lookup app: the ability to run outside of Studio. But wait... I think that's what IntelliWebSearch does already. : )
Anyway, it's nice to have as many tools as possible at our disposal!
