Forgive me if this has been already said.


I just thought the ability to search words/terms/foo directly from Textpad
might not only make looking up text take a few less steps.
I think google has some sort of api that allows Textpad to get paid from the searches seant from TP. And from what I have seen there is nothing intrusive about this. In fact it is the same as if the user had searched directly from google.com.

Eeither way I am suggesting.

When in TP and a word is highlighted or selected.
<br<br>

The user can RT Click and choose "Look up " or "Search for word(S) on google. ETC.

Thank you

Although TextPad doesn't have such a feature, here's a way you can simulate it to some degree: http://forums.textpad.com/viewtopic.php?t=10781

Yes, I had found it after this post.

I was able to do sort of the same thing by adding he search to the tools menu.

Thank you again.

P.S.
I am slowly realizing the power of TP.
I do think around 9 years could be considered slow.
I just never gave TP the chance it deserved until now.
