This is feature request about getting access to mouse (middle button) buffer in nix-lie operating systems from Chrome's extension. There is a FireFox extension 'Vimperator', which can open a new tab, using muse buffer: you should only select a text, press a hotkey and a page with this address or an search engine with this request is loading. There is an extension for Chrome: cVim. It has the same functionality, but unfortunately not from mouse buffer. So, you should make nore actions: press Ctrl+C. I asked cVim's developer about using mouse buffer in his extension, he asked that he can not use it from js because of Chrome's limitations. So, may be that's possible to resolve this?


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install cVim extension.
2. Select some text.
3. Press 'P'.

What is the expected result?

Address bar gets request from highlighted text and executes it, opening a page.

What happens instead of that?

Nothing happens.
