Hi Nora,

I'm very interested this script. I frequently use google to search words during translation. I never used AHK before. It seems very powerful. I just tried this script. When I press Alt+G, only the google search window pops up. The selected texts are not pasted into the search box. Would you please kindly advise what to do at your convenience? Thanks,

Regards,
Ivan

 

Hi Ivan,

Paul has posted an alternative script but just to follow up, I think I see why it's not working for you (and for Paul). When I pasted the script on this forum, part of it got converted into a link, which is not what you need. This is my actual script:

;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

As you can see, the part of the variable, called %Clipboard%, where the contents of the clipboard are pasted into the search field, was not showing in the original post.

Hope it works for you now!

Best,

Hi Nora,

Just wondering if you use https://data-app.taus.net/ to search words. Is it possible to create a script for this one? Thanks.

Hi Ivan,

Try this (as usual, you may need to adjust the delays). 

Hotkey: Windows key + T (select text before pressing the hotkey)

;TAUS lookup
#t::
temp := ClipboardAll
Send, ^c ;copies selected text
Run https://data-app.taus.net/
Sleep 1000
Send {Enter}
Sleep 1000
Send {Tab 8}
Sleep 200
Send ^v
Sleep 1000
Send {Enter}
clipboard := temp
temp =
Return

Hope it works for you!

Hi Ivan,

Try to increase the delay of the last timer, from

Send 1000

to

Send 2000

for example, or even more…
