Hi All,

I would like to know if anyone knows a comfortable way to display a web 
page for the current selection based on the language type and ideally a 
pattern.
I think of something like this:

- right click on a selection

- choose some context menu item

- depending on the selected text open a browser with a search result

- search page should ideally depend on file/language type and pattern. 
So if the file is a "C" file then, e.g. search the glib reference manual 
if selected text matches "g_*". On no better match (as a default for the 
language "C" search on a general "C" page (e.g. www.cplusplus.com).

Is there any existing comfortable solution for this? Thanks for all 
replies in advance.

Best Regards,
Lars
