WebSearch

It will no longer be updated. If someone wants to keep updating it, contact me.

Sublime Text plugin to search on World Wide Web.

This package adds:

• A Web Search command to the context menu on the view.
• A command palette for the current selection or word
• A command palette that will ask you what to search
• A command palette for change engine during session (Close Sublime Text, return to active engine)

By default Google is used for web searches, but the search engine is configurable.

Usage

• Using context menu on view, see context_menu options for customize.
• Place the cursor inside a word or select some text and press Ctrl+Shift+s.
