Add-on summary

"Are you used to being able to highlight text and have it instantly copied to the clipboard? Why not have this functionality in your browser as well?" -- spyrosoft

This is a fork of https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copy-on-select by late spyrosoft. See the version history on SourceHut for information on what has changed since the fork.

Here are some cases where it is difficult or outright impossible for this add-on to copy-on-select:

  • Technically impossible: Firefox user interface elements outside of the main web page (URL bar, dialogues, etc.) Special Firefox pages (about:*, view-source:*), PDF documents, XML documents Disabled input elements of a web page
  • Probably possible, probably not: JavaScript-heavy web pages, in particular if they do funny things with the selection (https://docs.google.com) Likewise web pages that rely on JavaScript libraries like CodeMirror for text input
Please consider opening an issue on the support site or send a mail to the support email if you experience a web page where this add-on does not copy-on-select.
