paypal-spotlight v0.2.0

PayPal Spotlight

PayPal, being a large company, hosts an enormous number of tools for a variety of purposes. Most of the time, we use these tools when we want to search for information - but we need to go through a time-consuming pre-step to find the right tool for it, and then find the right place within it to perform the search.

We aim to remove this pre-step.

How to use

Just hit Alt+Enter to fire it up and search for what you want. PayPal Spotlight does the hard work for you to search the appropriate tool for the job.
