Selection Helper

Displays a advanced tooltip when text is selected.

➤ Short Description Selection Helper: Instantly convert dates, units, currencies, and translate selected text—right in your browser. ➤ Full Description Ever find yourself copying a date into a new tab just to convert it to your local timezone? Or juggling tabs to translate a phrase or calculate a quick unit conversion? Selection Helper brings all of that functionality directly into a small popup, so you can stay focused on what matters. ➤ Key Features - Date Recognition & Timezone Conversion Select any date-like string (e.g., “Jun 22, 2019 at 12:52”, “2025-06-02T12:00:00Z”, “02.06.25, 14:30”) and instantly see it formatted for your local timezone. Click the clock icon to copy the converted timestamp or click “Calendar” to create a Google Calendar event. - Unit Conversion Highlight numeric values with units (m, ft, kg, lbs, cm, in, km, mi, g, ml, oz, km/h, mph, °C, °F) and get a quick conversion—no more hunting for a separate conversion tool. Click on the result to copy it. - Currency Conversion Select any dollar ($), euro (€), or pound (£) amount on a webpage and see the equivalent in your preferred currency (default: EUR). Results update in real time via a reliable API, and you can click to copy the converted value. - Inline Translation Highlight text in any language, click “Translate,” and see an instant translation into your chosen language (default: German). Copy the translated phrase with one click—perfect for reading articles or chatting on foreign-language sites. - Quick Web Search & Clipboard Copy Every time you select text, you’ll also see “Search” and “Copy” buttons. Hit “Search” to instantly Google (or your preferred engine) the selected term. Hit “Copy” to send the raw selection to your clipboard. ➤ Why You’ll Love Smart Tooltip - Zero Context‐Switching: No need to open new tabs or separate tools for conversions and translations. - Customizable Preferences: Set your default search engine, currency target, and translation language. - Lightweight & Non‐Intrusive: Appears only when you select text.
