Summary

Analyze keywords

The keyboard shortcut can be changed through the "Keyboard shortcuts" tab in the browser's Extensions page.
If the search URL is left blank then searches will be done using the browser's default search engine.

Thank you. Very useful!

Despite the description stating that the key is "changeable", I can't find any way in the options dialog to configure the hotkey. On my Mac, it's just Cmd-Shift-V. That's fine, but not what's advertised.
