Haha, interesting -- i've had a similar functionality that i hacked into my window manager (XMonad) forever ago. I have an arbitrary keystroke that grabs the highlighted (x clipboard) text, raises a running firefox instance, and plugs it into a StartPage search :). Especially useful when a terminal command barfs an error.



This functionality is sort of now available in the package xmonad-contrib[0].
