A simple utility to automate some searches.

csearch

Basically csearch will help you search whatever you have on your clipboard using the keyboard shortcut you want.

Prerequisites

• Python 3
• pip3
• wget
• Linux Operating System

Setup

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crowded-geek/csearch/master/setup.sh
chmod +x setup.sh
sudo ./setup.sh

Keyboard shortcut setup

• Go to keyboard shortcuts in your settings
• Add a new keyboard shortcut with following details:

  Name: <whatever you like>
  Command: /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/csearch/copysearch.py
  Shortcut: <whatever you like> or Alt+s
  

  If you want to use DuckDuckGo as your search engine:

  Name: <whatever you like>
  Command: /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/csearch/copysearch.py ddg
  Shortcut: <whatever you like> or Alt+s
  

Why run the script as root?

It needs to create it's folder in /usr/local/bin to install itself.
