ABSTRACT:
The operation of a computer system can be determined by the content of highlighted data on a display device. In this computer system, the highlighted data could be located anywhere on the display device. The highlighted data is not related to any embedded links. In one embodiment, a temporary storage buffer is used to store data highlighted by a user. The computer system also contains a table (or database) associating a list of data with a list of computer operations. When a pre-assigned key is pressed, the content of the temporary storage buffer is compared with the list of data in the database. When there is a match, the associated operation is performed. As a result, the operation performed is related to the content of the highlighted data.
