Copy as select, auto copy url adress bar and auto copy selected text in web pages as plain text

[trimechee]

Hello, Hello, thank you so much for all these great magnificent awesome rare extensions and addons which makes our lifes more easy and comfortable ! 💯 🥇

Please we have request : it will be great to add the ability to copy on select to automatically copy the selected text inside the press articles into the clipboard as plain text because we do academic research and I I often copy extracts and paragraphs from different websites and online books and I need to do these copy and paste operations quickly, thank you very much !

Also please, we need to copy the source of these articles and I have to quickly copy the url address of found sources and documentation and it will be great please to invent extension that can automatically copy the url address of the press articles when we click and select the content of the address bar, and we hope this extension will be also compatible with chromium based browsers (even extension outside chrome web store) because we use sometimes ungoogled chromium browser and ungoogled chromium browser allows us to add extensions outside the chrome store....

Thank you a lot !

Thank you for your kind comment.

Which extension are you referring to?

[trimechee]

Thank you :) I would like that this feature would be integrated in our beloved FireMonkey , but sometimes we just like to auto copy in clipboard some paragrah or url adress without the need o use others features....

so my suggestion is either make a new independent lite extension to automatically copy when select, or add this feature to the awesome Copy PlainText extension :

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copy-plaintext/

because we would also like to copy only plain text, and we hope also please even more super mega boosted powerful extension by adding allow this feature : allow select and copy because some websites prohibit selecting their content.....

I searched a lot and I found some rare extensions which can perhaps be a source of inspiration to add these functions to our beloved Copy PlainText extension !

Also I use batch downloader in this amazing downloader manager :

https://github.com/mhogomchungu/media-downloader

and i need to copy quickly many url adress of youtube videos from tv channeles and radio in youtube so ability to fast copy url adress of many videos just by selecting url adress bar is very important because i listen to these videos later or when i sleep and i need to download many videos to sleep or to to combat insomnia....and media-downloader has option to paste automatically youtube urls from clipboard in batch downloader section.....

I would like that this feature would be integrated in our beloved FireMonkey

FireMonkey being a userscript manager only runs scripts. Therefore, it is up to the script to do the work.

so my suggestion is either make a new independent lite extension to automatically copy when select, or add this feature to the awesome Copy PlainText extension

Automated copying on selection has been brought up before but can cause more issues. User copies something and then accidentally select a letter with the mouse and the copied content is replaced.

Have you seen Text MultiCopy? It is made especially for collecting data by copying multiple texts with any extra details (e.g. time, date, URL, etc).

If you want to copy URLs from a page, then you can try URL MultiCopy. If you want to copy URLs from tabs, then you can try FoxyTab.

Ohh very very interesting and instructive ! Thank you so much for your precious help @erosman :) 💯

Hello, I talked with Mr Jamie Hill the developer of extension Auto copy in the chrome web store to inclure feature to copy url adress bar :

https://stratusnine.com/software/auto-copy/

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/auto-copy/bijpdibkloghppkbmhcklkogpjaenfkg

and he answered me :

"Unfortunately that's not possible due to how the extension works.  However, take a look at the extension options, there's a setting to add an information comment to a selection on the page.  One of the things you can do is include the URL with that : "

So it will be great please to include this option to Text MultiCopy, URL MultiCopy and FoxyTab, thank you !

[erosman]

If I understand you correctly, that is already available in "Text MultiCopy". Check its included Help for more info.

Hello Mr @erosman , maybe it can help, this open source extension can auto copy.......

WebOptimizer Filecentipede https://github.com/filecxx/WebOptimizer http://www.filecxx.com/en_US/index.html

Each addon has its own functions.

Which of my addons are you requesting a feature for? If the feature is popular, I can look into it.

[trimechee]

Ohh Mr @erosman Your extension are already awesome and fantastic, thank you :) 🥇

It was just a suggestion, because this new extension that i discover seems to have interesting features like Unlock copy restriction Unlock context menu Remove anti ad blocker layer

and has especially chrome chromium version and there is no open source auto copy extensions in the chrome store except this addon according to my research and we dream please to seeing your extensions in the chrome store or a crx version for chromium browsers which allow the installation of addon extensions outside the stores and perhaps this extension can help.....
