We don't really do urgent here. And your post is unclear. What do you want to happen? Is it:

1. When pressing a key or key combo in your Chrome browser it activates your bookmark.
   
   or:
   
   
2. When a user comes to a page on the web, they can press a key or key combo to activate a script based upon your bookmark.

Or are you after something else?

If it's #1, see:

or use another browser that already has this feature.

If it's #2, we need to see the code of the bookmark in order to know if this is even something that can be done live on the web.

thanks for the reply.,.

and sorry for tagging it urgent .,.

i want to declare the key or keycombo in the script itself .,.

the script is for catching the selected text on the webpage and opening a new tab(or window) and doing an exact search search of the selected text using google.com .,.,

So I want it to work it this way .,

select the text
press a key
and it opens a new tab (or window) with an xact search .,.


hope now its clear

thanks

Thanks for your reply for my question

I want the script to be used as a bookmarklet or an extension .,. since an extension is lil hard a bookmarklet with the javascript is fine .,.

My Javascript bookmarklet already does this thing

When text is selected and clicked on the bookmarklet it opens a new tab and does an exact search with the snippet of the text selected using google.com/search?q="(myselected text)"

Now i want it to do automatically on a key press

When certain text is selected and selected key is pressed it should do the work as when i clicked on the bookmarklet.

Note: I'm using this bookmarklet in CHROME

my javascript is
javascript:a = "" + (window.getSelection() ? document.getSelection() : document.selection.createRange().text); if (a!=null)window.open("http://www.google.com/search?q=\"" + escape(a)+ "\"");

Only thing I know for that is (as mentioned before):

http://www.chromeplugins.org/google/...arks-7571.html

You have to join the forum to see the links.

But it bears mentioning that even without a bookmarklet, Chrome has this feature:

Highlight text, right click on it and select:

Search Google for 'your highlighted text'

This opens a new tab of Google with the exact search on the highlighted text.
