    Description

      I think it would be helpful if Qt Creator(and also Qt Design Studio) had a feature which enables users to select certain text, right click on it and see "search on Google" option inside.
      In most cases, when we face errors, one of the first things to do is to google the error message.

      So far, we can only manually do that, but it would be great if we can do it a bit easier.

      It would be even nicer if we had a keyboard shortcut on it; select the text, click on the shortcut and the Qt Creator(and Qt Design Studio) opens up the browser showing the search results.

      Not only in the compiler output, but also we can add this feature to the editor iteself too, because there are sometimes things F1 doesn't help.

       

      EDIT : It would be also helpful to add this feature to the document(F1) section too.
