Nice try seriously! But a bad idea to use CTRL+S. Make it custumizable at least. And its not working very good. Sometimes save dialog pops up or FF Popup-warning shows up. And sometimes it simply works. Not really reliable. My work around for now: CTRL+C, CTRL+T, CTRL+V, ENTER save that as a "macro" with X-mouse button (works with every mouse!) to my mouse button. That works pretty good. Cheers ps. feature req for KB shortcut to search for highlighted text is 5y old now. BAD MOZI!
