# by fenn (aka ben lipkowitz) distributed under GPL v2 or later
#
# opens a new konqueror browser window without starting a new process;
# this is about six times faster than running a new instance.
#
# usage:
# newkonq.sh [-b | url]
# if given -b it uses the contents of the x selection buffer 
# if given a url it goes there, else it googles the phrase
#
# installation:
# do chmod a+x newkonq.sh and then put this script in /usr/local/bin 
# now get "xsel" (sudo apt-get install xsel)
#
# for added functionality:
# if you use IceWM, add this to your ~/.icewm/keys file:
# key "Alt+Ctrl+l"                newkonq.sh -b
# now highlight something and press control-alt-L and see what happens!
# (it should google the selected text)
# other window managers (gnome, KDE) should have custom keyboard 
# shortcuts too, but i'm too lazy to look up how to do that!
