I noticed a cool little app in the repository today called Googlizer. What it does is take whatever you last selected in any window and googles for it. It occurs to me that if you can google for it, you can also paste it. Is there an emacs shortcut/command to do that? I don't want to use X clipboard behavior in general, just to quickly paste selected text. If there isn't an emacs shortcut, is there an easy way to just take that an insert it at keyboard focus using some automatic text entry tool?
