Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

Adds a changeable keyboard shortcut that pastes the clipboard into the URL bar of the current tab or a new tab and loads it if it is a URL or otherwise searches for it. The search function is disabled by default and the search engine that is used can be changed in the settings. Also includes a toolbar button.

Notes:

  • If the search URL is left blank then searches will be done using the browser's default search engine.
  • The file size is mainly due to the icon images; the actual code is about 15 kB.
  • The shortcut key cannot be changed in Firefox 57 - 59.

If it worked well at one point in the past, it no longer is the case. I'm on Firefox 125.0.1, Windows 10.
