Hotkeys

The two scripts below ya_paste and ba_paste are meant to be assigned to a hotkey.

When executed they take as input the text in the active text field.

Note that this can be any text field on the screen.

ya_paste: takes active input field text, search YouTube, open results in browser tabs (YouTube button) (e.g. Insert key)

ba_paste: takes active input field text, search Bing, open results in browser tabs (Bing button) (e.g. Shift+Insert key)

These two hotkey scripts takes the clipboard content as input, instead.

vsub_paste: open YouTube URL from clipboard in VLC and download video info and subtitles (VLC YouTube w. subs and info) (e.g. Shift+Win+V)

gen_paste: search LibGen with clipboard text, open Library Genesis results page (e.g. Alt+L)
