Description

🟢Select any text in a web page and it will be automatically copied to the clipboard (hold Ctrl to bypass, ⌘ on Mac). 🟢You can also quickly paste the copied text by clicking on the mouse wheel, or by double clicking the left mouse button while keeping the Ctrl key pressed (⌘ on Mac). 🟢If you keep the Shift key ⬆ pressed while pasting, the field into which you are pasting will be emptied of all already existing text before pasting. 🟢Bypass the auto copy functionality in input fields (needs to be activated in the options page) 🟢Automatically add text before or after the copied text (needs to be activated in the options page) 🟢Automatically add the webpage URL to the copied text (needs to be activated in the options page) ✂------------------------- 🚨IMPORTANT🚨: please reload Chrome after installing the extension, in order to activate it. - Click on the extension button to turn the extension on/off. - Right click on the button to open the options page or the user guide. 🔎NOTE: - The extension does not work on the New Tab page (the page that opens when you click on the + sign in Chrome). This is standard behaviour for all extensions. - The extension does not work on pages whose URL starts with the word "chrome", for example chrome://extensions/ or chrome://settings/.

Copies only as plain text. Therefore this extension is useless for me.

there is no option to ignore text in search bar if you copy something from the page and want to paste it into the search bar where there is already a text it will copy the text in the search bar instead of pasting the text you wanted to paste .
