rich-text-copy's Introduction

Rich Text Copy

"Rich Text Copy" is a Chrome extension that allows users to quickly copy selected text or, if no text is selected, the title of a tab as a rich-text hyperlink or a markdown link. With just a simple right-click, you can transform your text selections into clickable links, ready for sharing.

Note: This extension works only on web pages that start with http:// or https://.

Options

On the Options page, you can independently choose how to copy content: either as a rich-text hyperlink or a markdown link for both selected text and the title of the tab."

Released version

You can also find the released version on Chrome Web Store.

How to Use

Install Extension: Install the "Rich Text Copy" extension to your Chrome browser.
Select Text: Highlight the text you want to share on any webpage.
Right Click: Right-click on the selected text, and in the context menu, click on "Copy as Rich Text".
Paste Anywhere: Paste the copied content into any platform that supports rich text, like Slack, Microsoft Teams, etc. The text will appear as a hyperlink pointing back to the original page. If the platform doesn't support rich text, only the selected text will be pasted.

rich-text-copy's Issues

feat: add copy as markdown link

Rich link not working properly

Just a text of link is pasted...

Add right-click entry

It can be more convenient (especially for people with disabilities) to right-click the mouse and reach for an entry in the context menu, than moving the cursor all the way to the top right of the browser window to copy the link to the current page.

It would be nice to have the option (even if it is disabled by default in the extension preferences) to show an entry in the right click menu that would do the same thing as the extension button in the browser's toolbar.

Check url

When urls are like chrome:// or file:/// , the extension get errors.

Default to page title if no page is selected

I often want to copy a link to a specific page using the page's title (<title> in the HTML) rather than any selected text.

It would be nice if, when no text is selected, this extension defaulted to copying the link to the current page using the title as the link label, rather than doing nothing when the button is clicked as is the current behavior.
