+49 30-2023 7305-0

step 1 : mark above phone number and copy it to the Klipper clipboard of KDE.

step 2 : in Klipper, click the action we prepare below to see who owns that phone number.

Regular expression for action:

Now you need to add two commands for added action:

Command 1 (all on one line): 

kfmclient openURL "http://www.dastelefonbuch.de/?pid=OpenSearch&cmd=search&kw=%s&le=de"

Description for command 1: 

Phonebook search, Konqueror

Command 2 (all on one line): 

ps x|grep -q '[f]irefox' && firefox -remote openURL\("http://www.dastelefonbuch.de/?pid=OpenSearch&cmd=search&kw=%s&le=de", new-window\) || firefox "http://www.dastelefonbuch.de/?pid=OpenSearch&cmd=search&kw=%s&le=de"

Description for command 2: 

Phonebook search, Firefox

After that it should look like this:
