;
; v1.1.0, Jan 25, 2008 - improved browser option, added split-line reconstruction, added about box
; v1.0.2, Nov 10, 2006 - initial release
;
; Select plaintext in any program and hit the hotkey (ctrl+space)
; If the text looks like a url or website name (like donationcoder.com), it will be opened.
;  otherwise a google search will be conducted with the phrase.
;  urls will be cleaned of unnesc. punctuation and split-lines will be merged.
;
; Compiled exe and .ahk source script included.

There are a lot of scripts that do this kind of thing, but i still thought it would be nice to have another that people could customize.


* Just select a url or something that looks like a url in any program and hit hotkey to open proper web page in browser.
* Fixes urls that are malformed (missing prefixes, extra surrounding characters, etc.)
* If you select a non-url phrase a web search is conducted
* Compiled exe included that uses default browser and hotkey Ctrl+Space, but autohotkey source is provided you can customize
* Cleans up split-line urls, perfect for email urls

ps.
i use this constantly to open non-standard urls from mirc chat window, etc., because it does some cleanup of urls that other programs might not recognize as being a url.  i welcome any further updates to the script to do more fixing of broken urls.

I have learned from the advanced Firefox extension, Linkification, to appreciate this feature, so I am thrilled by SelectoSurf.  :-*

However, icons icons icons icons and icons
- I can have no more icons in the system tray!

Mouser, please consider a version that does not display an icon in the tray?

mouser:
It's an ahk script - what that means is you could combine it with other ahk script and have only one ahk icon in the tray.

You *do* realize that you can customize windows to not display icons ever for some applications?  They will be there, but hidden...
