Allow a manual selection of cells within a table

Open trackingintegration opened this issue 12 years ago • 3 comments

It would be great to be able to copy just the selected cells from a table. The "Table2Clipboard" addon for Firefox does that. It would be great to have it in Chrome also.

In that addon for Firefox, we press "CONTROL" and then select the desired cells with the mouse. The cells become highlighted as we select them. Then, there is a context menu to "Copy the selected cells to clipboard".

I work with HTML tables all day and really miss this feature!

You should seriously try to install Firefox and then add this plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dafizilla-table2clipboard

It's fantastic! I'm surprised there's nothing like this in Chrome.. well.. there is now.. yours.. :)
