Check out the ONE CLICK DDG DEMO

Search any text that is selected anywhere in the OS with DuckDuckGo in a single click is really fun!

Yes you read it right, may the text be in a document, webpage, terminal - anywhere you can imagine and select - can be searched with DuckDuckGo with a single click, using a simple one liner and some easy GUI tricks as in the video.

Dependency: xclip - command line interface to X selections (clipboard)

sudo apt-get install xclip

The code:

xdg-open opens a file or URL in the user’s preferred application and in this case it’s fetching the selected data from xclip and opening a browser that takes the help of DuckDuckGo to search.

xdg-open https://www.duckduckgo.com/?q="$(xclip -o)"
