Description
The new Bing search is a great tool. However, I think that it could be made even more convenient by providing a global keystroke (I am thinking ctrl-shift-win-slash), instead of making a Bing session. If implemented, I imagine an auto-generated Bing session with the search buffer in it, and any subsequent searches making new buffers inside this session. However, when Qwitter is restarted, this session would be destroyed. If you want a Bing session you could still create one in the usual way, but you would not need to have one in place to perform a Bing search. An option would need to be added: if a Bing session is already in your session list, should the global search create a new session, or just a new buffer inside the current session (or the first one in the list if multiple sessions exist)?
This feature will not be implemented as it goes completely against the sessions concept of Qwitter, as well as being technically infeasible.
