Hi all, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U29Xnr8CzxI
The prototyping demo shows: 1. when user select a word, an extra 'search' icon is appeared and direct user to the default search provider when user tap this icon. 2. When user select a longer sentence, an extra 'share' icon is appeared and direct user to share text with SMS, Email...etc. The idea is user usually use copy&paste function to accomplish some actions, so why not do it directly on copy&paste menu? With this prototype, user can accomplish main actions without multiple steps (1. copy, 2. open app, 3. paste string, 4. do action) I did some hacks around copy&paste menu and add the search mozactivity in search app to leverage default search providers (so user can change google/DuckDuckgo via search/settings app and effect the search button in copy&paste menu). To extend this idea, we may support wikipedia/google translate search provider with open search api [1], and find out some better way to make the immediate actions more easier to achieve. This prototype feature is not on the roadmap, if you like this feature to be included into FxOS, vote it on bugzilla[2] to gain more interesting.
