About

This is a specialized reading and learning utility designed for use during text research and content consumption. It provides key automation features togglable in settings when clicking the extension to streamline the process:

* Automatic Highlighting: Instantly highlights selected text, helping the user maintain context and easily recall where they left off, especially when switching between tabs.

* Automatic Copying: Toggle on the feature in setting to automatically copies selected text, allowing for quick pasting into other documents or AI tools.

* Quick AI Query: A dedicated key combination (CTRL + I) automatically switches the user to their preferred AI agent website and initiates a search query using the format: "What does {selected_text} mean."

* Fast Source Return: A simple key combination (CTRL + B) automatically switches the user back to the original source page to resume reading.
