Qwikify Extended

Simple script to show the chosen article for whatever term has been highlighted if any of the 26 letters are pressed. Pressing 'a' for example, will show the answers.com results for the term. Please un-install older version before installing this new version.

This is an alteration of Qwikify which adds more searches. And Results will open in new tab. Modifier keys fixed by DesertFox, et al. Also same-tab version commented out in script. Just highlight any word or phrase and press one of the 26 alphabet letters. Please un-install older version before installing this new version.

Using encodeURIComponent on selectedText would make it work for non-ascii cases.

Meta key problem can be fixed by changing the if statement from:

if (selectedText != '')

to

if (selectedText != '' && !event.altKey && !event.ctrlKey && !event.shiftKey)

it works for me anyway.

Very cool. I was just about to modify it myself when I found this. :)

Thanks so much for taking the original idea and expanding on it. I was in the process of modifying J.G.'s script to open in tabs etc when I found your update. I love it.
