Isn't there a keyboard shortcut to cast searches on text selections using the default search engine?

I know Firefox has 'Search [default search engine's name] for "[selected text]"' in context menus for text selections. Is this feature bound to a key combination?

  • right-click
  • tap s with your left hand
