Hello Christian,
Scenario 1:
it often happens that, before you download a picture, a document or a song, you first want to check, whether that or a similar file is already on your computer.
For that, it would be nice to have a parameter that would automatically insert the searched text into the "Search for:" field of the TC search Dialog or pass it as an argument to a TC command.
(and also another parameter that would transfer the clipboard content)
Scenario 2 (deep search):
Imagine you are doing some research on the web. Then you see a term and you want to check, if that term is somewhere in your local documents.
For that, it would be nice to have a parameter that would automatically insert the searched text to the into the "Search Text:" field of the TC search Dialog or pass it as an argument to a TC command.
Background:
There are browser plugins like "Search from popup or context menu", which can be used to pass marked text with only 1 click to a search engine or a local application.
Imo, it would be even better not to unify multiple (sub)parameters under the /S= Parameter and instead have seperate parameters for "Search for", Search in", "Search Text" and Clipboard
Examples:
%COMMANDER_EXE% /O /S=F:F "search for terms"
%COMMANDER_EXE% /O /S=F:T "search text"
%COMMANDER_EXE% /O /S=F:C "Cliboard"
Shorter:
%COMMANDER_EXE% /O /S=F "search for terms"
%COMMANDER_EXE% /O /S=I "c:\search in"
%COMMANDER_EXE% /O /S=T "search text"
%COMMANDER_EXE% /O /S=C "Cliboard"
Thank you in advance
Parameter(s) for passing selected text from web or from clipboard to TC search function
