PowerToys Run : Shortcuts to launch your browser to web pages

[htsachakis]

What i suggest as a addition in the PowerToys Run

I would like have the ability to add custom URL shortcuts and able to launch that URL in my default browser in new tab .

For example

If i add the shortcut g to for URL https://www.google.com/search?q= then when i write

g some-term-i-want-search

what i expect to open an new tab in my web browser to the URL https://www.google.com/search?q=some-term-i-want-search

Similar App

This exist in "Ulauncher app for Linux" that and you can add custom shortcuts for the URL's that you want and launch your browser at that URL .

How you can add those shortcuts

The way you add the simple , you chose the shortcut and the URL in a simple form .
For the above example the form will be :
Shortcut : g
URL : https://www.google.com/search?q=%s

The %s represents the search term in the URL you want to be placed so the URL work correctly .

What browser do you use?
In Chrome, Edge and Firefox this is already possible when you type in the address/search bar.

I'm using chrome and i know that functionality ! The suggestion is to be a part of the PowerToys Run so all the process search something somewhere becomes faster than just go to your browser and do the same thing .

The picture will make it more clear what i suggested !!

Configuration

Search with first shortcut

Search with second shortcut

Search with third shortcut

And when you press enter just opens a new tab in your browser to the exactly search URL that you need to be .

I used this feature in the Wox launcher a lot for e.g. google maps, google translate, duckduckgo, google scholar.
