Add built-in hotkey for searching & importing wikipedia pages? #35

Open neoromantic opened 4 months ago

neoromantic commented 4 months ago

As it says in title.

Or maybe first page result from Google Serp / Duckduckgo?

Use case: I need to quickly pull information on some topic from internet. Suppose, I need a text in my vault explaining some common known object: "The Eiffel Tower" or "Quantum Entanglement" or something like that.

I'll have to google, then copy link, then paste it in Slurp.

It could've be a hotkey. Either:

  1. Simple one: just trim & consider it as wiki page, with no additional checks, except for 404
  2. Advanced one: really search Wikipedia (or even better - google - which has its own problems) and pull the most relevant page.

This is an interesting idea but at the moment I feel like this goes beyond the goals for this project. I'll leave the issue open though, if enough people want to see this then I'll look into implementing it.

For now, you might want to add the bookmarklet to your browser's bookmarks bar to speed up your workflow.
