Feature request: copy image / copy image URL to the clipboard

[alon-to]

Current functionality:

• It is possible to use LinkHints.activateModeToCopyLinkUrl (Copy a link URL to the clipboard) to activate hints, select a hint, and have that hint's destination URL copied to the clipboard.

Desired functionality:

• Add hint-activated functions for images. These include (in my personal desired order):
  • Copy image
  • Copy image URL / address
  • Save image
  • Open image in new tab

Illustration:

• The Chrome context menu when right-clicking on an image:

Personal note:

• I absolutely love Vimium! Thank you so much to the community for creating this wonderful extension.

I have a customized version of Vimium, named Vimium C, and I added LinkHints.activateModeToOpenImage to open an image in a new tab. Then you can use Ctrl+S / Ctrl+C to download / copy images.

~~Update: seems Ctrl+C breaks... I'll do more tests and try to fix it.~~

With Vimium C, in order to get image URL to copy, you may:

• add the 2 lines below to custom search engines:

v.i: . vimium://show image re=/^(?:\+|%20| )(?:download=[^&]*&)?(.*)$/i
v.i: vimium://show\ image\ auto=once&$S re= Vimium C Display

• map a key sequence to the command named Vomnibar.activateUrl
• then trigger this key on the tab where Vimum C displays an image, so you'll see image URL on Vomnibar's input bar.
