How to search the selected text with a default search engine?

Hello

Before the recent update of the search bar, you can select your 'current' search engine, and a search for the selected text (right click on the selection) would use this engine.

Now, it seems that you can only search for the selected text using the default engine. If that is correct, it's a big step backwards for me. For example, I can't have Google as my default search engine and the search for a text selected on eBay!

Or am I missing something?

Thank you!

R.

I find this extension very useful for selected items in the web pages. It offers all your search engines with select > right click.

  • Replace the selected text with other content TextFrame

    Hello

    I am changing a text selected in something new, involving the movement of text and the paragraph style using a jsx script. At the present time, everything works beautifully:

    • I entered the select text
    • I have create a new temporary TextFrame
    • I build my new paragraphs and apply styles to them in the new TextFrame

    What I was not able to reach still is to replace the original selected text by temporary TextFrame content.

    Any help would be more than welcome

    A part of my script:

    myText = app.selection[0].contents;

     

    ... do some stuff


    var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);

    var myPage = myDocument.pages.item(0);

    var myTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.add();


    myTextFrame.geometricBounds = [0, -70, 150, 70];

    myTextFrame.contents = "Paragraph1\rParagraph2...";


    myTextFrame.paragraphs[0].appliedParagraphStyle = pStyleGroup.paragraphStyles.itemByName('Style1');

    myTextFrame.paragraphs[1].appliedParagraphStyle = pStyleGroup.paragraphStyles.itemByName('Style2');

    And now, in myTextFrame, I have my new paragraph formatted, and I would like to replace the original selected text with the contents of my TextFrame (keeping the paragraph styles).

    Hello

    Keep the logic of the code and edit utilities:

    var
        mSourceIdx = app.selection[0].index,
        mStory = app.selection[0].parentStory,
        mReplaceStuff = {
            elements: [
                ["Paragraph_1\r",  "Style_1"],
                ["Paragraph_2\r",  "Style_2"],
                ["Paragraph_X\r",  "Style_X"]
                ]},
        mTarget, cElement, cText, cParaStyle;
    
    while (cElement = mReplaceStuff.elements.pop()) {
        cText = cElement[0];
        cParaStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles.item(cElement[1]);    // modify if styleGroups present in a structure
      mTarget = mStory.insertionPoints.item(mSourceIdx);
        mTarget.contents = cText;
        mTarget.paragraphs[0].appliedParagraphStyle = cParaStyle;
         }
    
    app.selection[0].contents = "";
    

    MReplaceStuff allows to prepare stuff to replace

  • How to remove the selected area with a script that would ignore the fact if the selected area is transparent or the fact that it has no selection?

    Hello

    My friend works on an action, who would edit images by removing the white background color. However, there are a lot of images with transparent background or after some other actions have no selection who had to be removed. And now he is facing simple problem, simple remove this feature brings a lot of table and the error Stops.

    The ideal solution to this problem would be if it would ba a script who could remove the selection and ignore stops as no selection and transparent.

    Can anyone help with this one?

    Settle into the Photoshop scripts forum.

    With a script, you would just put your code in a try/catch block. This intercept errors such as the selection of a transparent area and do not stop your script:

    try{
         //your code here
         }
    catch(e){
         //either no code, or code to do something if you get an error.
    }

  • ADF: How to avoid the selection of lines of default table by the ADF

    Hello

    My Version of JDeveloper is 11.1.1.5

    Scenario, I have two related tables project and Project_Documents and they are hierarchical in my ProjectVO display object. Since they are hierarchical, on my page if I select any project, I'm related document

    But everytime I open this page, project table is selected by default with the first row.

    How to avoid this? I can do to not select any default line by the ADF? So that the user must be able to select the first line, not by the ADF itself... Is there a way to do this?

  • How to limit a GREP search to the selected text

    Hello

    I have a script GREP seeking gaps in a series of endnote numbers. This helps a corrector to know quickly if a number was inadvertently left out.

    However, in a document number series can be repeated because the document contains more than one chapter.

    So I guess I could write the script search for a series of numbers in the selected text, i.e. an entire chapter. But, looking at the properties for findGrepPreferences I don't see all this limits the search to a selection. However, the GREP dialog box allows a search of Documents, Document, history, to end of history and the selection.

    Where can I find these properties?

    Tom

    You perform a loop on theRange:

    finds=[];
    for(i=0;i
    

    I'll just write all...

    This should work (untested):

    var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var firstPage = 2;
    var lastPage = 4;
    var myRange = [];
    for(var i=firstPage;i

  • Dreamweaver CC: How to change the color of the selected text

    Maybe a stupid question, but I can't seem to figure it out, even with searches on the web.  I want to change the color of a single word in my HTML document.  Can anyone offer advice?

    I can change some styles of the selected text (bold, italic, etc.), but do not understand the color.

    Also, I know how to change the color of the different elements using CSS.  But for the selected text in an element, CSS here the simplest solution?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes.  I checked it and in CC DW, there is not a way to do as I suggested previously.  I was watching DW CS6 and he got it.
