Liquid
25Integrated shortcuts for common daily tasks (was Liquid Flow).
Overview
With Liquid (was Liquid Flow), you flow through your work effortlessly and quickly by doing the things you need to do every way - looking up words, sharing information, translating, copying, calculating and converting. When you interact with your information through your computer smoothly, not in little bits and dribs and drabs, your work becomes liquid and you work in a new, more connected state, you flow.
Select text, type Cmd-Shift-2, and choose a command.
What's new in Liquid
Version 25:
- Select a block of text which you need to focus on (maybe one with dense text), invoke Liquid and do 'spacebar' to see that text full screen with more line breaks to make it easier to read. ESC or click 'Exit' to close.

I wasn't clear I guess, I meant invoking the first window as to be able to type text in the field. I'm not always searching from a selected piece of text (which is what the Shift-Cmd-2 is for), most of the time I just want to type something directly in the field..
I tried mapping the "Liquid" menu item to a keyboard shortcut but it won't invoke the window (the command does show up next to the "Liquid" menu item though).
The way Liquid ought to work is that if you have no text selected in the foreground app, hitting the Liquid shortcut should popup the window with no text entered, ready for you to start typing a new query.
It's not a big deal, though, just a minor annoyance. Another annoyance is that right-clicking on some selected text did invoke a Liquid contextual menu when I first installed the app, but then stopped working after about 10 minutes.
Also, digging around in the app's package, I found a UNIX file called "Liquid | Info", which appears to be the heart of the app. Running it in Terminal threw up this complaint from OSX: "The function ‘CGContextErase’ is obsolete and will be removed in an upcoming update. Unfortunately, this application, or a library it uses, is using this obsolete function, and is thereby contributing to an overall degradation of system performance."
