Add-on summary
This addon won't be maintained further. I'm shelving this project due to lack of interest/utility and too much burden. The addon will remain available for download as long as the store allows, and the source on gitlab will also remain available to fork. I do have a greasyfork account and may publish works there in the future. I have mild intentions to reimplement the core functionality of CSL, IBCP, and DID as public userscripts.
Available for Chrome too.
Functionality When you double-click on a piece of plain text, Plain Text Linker tries to determine if what you clicked could be a URL and tries to open it. Try it!
Usage notes
- there's an option to require shift-doubleclick for a link to be opened, so you can still doubleclick URLs without anything happening
- you can choose if links should open in the foreground or background by default, and holding the Ctrl key will invert this behavior
Please rate/review/donate! :) A lot of time and work goes into creating my addons, and making changes or troubleshooting issues for users.
