Hai,
How can i pass selected text in a browser to a macro, If this is possible I can add an item in the right click menu to say "search selected text ". (by google or what ever)
thanks

This is not currently possible, but will probably be added to future releases.

Thanks for the reply,
Would it also be possible to make the current url available for macros, with this I can do a lot of things, I can create a small windoz program that can add current url to a list depending on what I click.
ex: lets say that I have a program that takes two parameters the url , and the folder, this is where the content of the url will go
addUrl(url,folder);
then I can create macros like
putin_software{
addUrl($url, C:\MySoftware)
}
putin_news{
addUrl{$url,C:\Mynews)
}
And then I can assign these macros to some keys.This reduces a lot of key storkes for me.
The above example is very small. but there are very extensive uses .. ones we can parameterize a macro the possibilites are end less.
thanks

What I'm most likely it implement is something like a global $CUR_URL variable. Then you could do something like:
putin_software {
exec program.exe $CUR_URL c:\MySoftware
}
putin_news {
exec program.exe $CUR_URL c:\MyNews
}
