Glad you like it!
Actually I'm not sure the process and its very late to ride a feature. To land it we need some ui/ux love to refine the icon images etc. And I guess with more votes the feature will more likely be considered in next version.
BTW, I'd like thanks Ting Yu Lin's help to make the copy/paste api can return selected text. With that api I can parse the text and make immediate actions possible.

This is awesome Fred! I want it.
Why not just ask for UI-review and land it? I guess my question actually is, how will voting help here? Is there a criteria for amount of votes before UX will consider to include a feature? At the very least, I would love to see it as an add-on. But since you already have done the work to include it in Gaia, why not just try and put it on the train?On Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 10:08 AM, Fred Lin <[email protected]> wrote:Hi all,

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.
