This infuriates me. None of the browsers have a shortcut to "search this highlighted text with Google". I instead have to right click, and carefully pick the option between "Print" and "Copy".
Not a single one, for an operation I do 200 times a day. I do not understand how it is possible. It's the most common operation I do in a browser.

I use Ctrl-C Ctrl-T Ctrl-V ENTER for this.
And the F1-Help! In context, boring but always available.
And the rearrangeable toolbars, native!! The status bar, not the flimsy tooltip at the bottom which disappears.
And the treeviews! And the files ordered by name! Nowadays everything is ordered by “Most recently seen” so you can go back to the past because of the infinite roll. Everything was ordered and safe there. But you would lose your mind if you didn’t reorganize your desktop regularly, and that has faded away, no-one needs to organize files nowadays.
Windows had reached an incredible level of usability, complete with blind and disability support, scriptable, standardized, reorganizable, repeatable UIs.
Then the web appeared and despite having a searchbox in every app, there still isn’t a keyboard shortcut for it.
