I think http://hah.mozdev.org/ and http://surfkeys.mozdev.org/ provide a better, overall solution.

I want them to add a shortcut that opens the selected search result in a new tab/window!

I hadn't noticed that. That's pretty cool!

Now I want them to do the same with their calendar. I'd like to right-click on an event and be able to delete it, move it from my public calendar to my work calendar, etc., etc.

They do use right-click menus. E.g., on Google Maps, you can select “directions from here,” “directions to here,” and some other navigational features, from a right-click.

Now I’d like them to start adding items to the right-click menu. They’ve made their web apps into highly convincing desktop apps, so I keep expecting that I can right-click on something and see the appropriate context items. I wonder how much browser infrastructure they’ll have to add (à la Gears) to make that happen.

Yes, but I kind of wish they didn’t use ‘/’ for find, which is already used otherwise by Firefox.

I know you hate Linux nowadays, and everything the open-source community stands for, and I know moreover that you’d prefer to see your unionized brethren covered in tar and feathers, but still: don’t you find it cool that Google is using the vim ‘next line’ and ‘previous line’ commands (j and k) for such things?
