Recent reviews
I was hoping that Copycat would allow me to copy text together with font and color. Would you consider adding this feature?
The problem is that when copying text from a page using Firefox, the font and color are not copied. Other browsers don't have this problem. I reported it as a bug to Firefox, but got a reply that this is desired behavior: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1440671
It certainly isn't desired for me.
Edit: There's an old open bug for this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406488
