uMatrix

uMatrix copied to clipboard

In uBlock it's possible to copy domain name strings. It's useful to paste somewhere else. Can you integrate this in uMatrix too?

Kind regards!

What browser or you using ?

I use Firefox.

I believe he's talking about copying strings directly from the matrix. Doesn't seem plausible though. Long hostnames would effectively render the cell useless.

Can you integrate this in uMatrix too?

uMatrix is different, all the cells are interactive, including the hostname cells, which is not the case for uBlock. I don't see how I could make this work.

As CrisBRM said: long hostnames would not senseful, that's clear. So, the display of names should stay.

As idea ...

Variant a) As context-function: "MouseRightButton, copy the name" ...

Variant b) As direct-function: "MiddleMouseButton"

Both variants related always to the actual cell.

Would this be technically feasible with the interactive concept?

As direct-function: "MiddleMouseButton"

The middle button idea is interesting. Only the user can copy to the clipboard though, so what the middle button could accomplish is to select the text.

I thought without manual selection. But as function (I'm not a programmer, maybe as "JS function") ala ...

"If user press middle mouse button in a first column cell take the actual cell-domain-name and copy it to the user-clipboard"?

Javascript can't access user clipboard -- that would be awful security-wise if it could.

Ah, okay - NOW I understand the problem ...

As (last?) idea:

a TEMPORARY/OPTIONALLY expandable first column to display larger strings (also with a > symbol) ...

with the possibility to copy and paste the string?

How is your opinion about my last idea?

can just bring up an alert popup with the string selected in a textbox once middle clicked

maybe not pretty but at least its only accessible if middle clicked
