Open clipboard in browser

Hotkey to open the clipboard in a browser. If it's a URL, open the URL directly. Otherwise, open as a Google search.

 

I bind this action to the F13 key, then use PCKeyboardHack to remap CapsLock to send F13 (keycode 105)

 

 

You can find it on Packal.

Thanks for the workflow. Works great! I wonder if you could help me. I want to adapt it to use Google phrase search instead. The Google phrase search URL is <https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=&as_epq={query}&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=&as_occt=any&safe=off>. I tried substituting this in your workflow, using either {query} or "$q" but couldn't get it to work. Any suggestions appreciated!

(replying to my own question in case anyone else is looking for this)

 

Use: open https://www.google.com/search?as_epq={query}

Hi Nelson, still using your workflow full four years now! If only the single quote character (') didn't break it! Do you know any way to fix that? Whenever there's a possessive in the phrase I want to look up, the workflow does not work. No biggie, anyway, and thanks!
