Copy URL on Hover
This is an extension for chromium-based browsers, so you can hover over a link and hit Y to yank it like a real vim user! For feedback, a pop sound will be played after copying.
If you need to copy link addresses more than once, you know how annoying it is. You need to right-click, find the "Copy link address" menu item, and click it. I find this not very efficient and overly complicated, which is why I use this extension for copying links.
Note: This project is a fork from dhruvtv/copylinkaddress.
Installation
To try the latest dev version of the extension follow the steps below.
- Download the source (either hit the 'ZIP' button you see at the top of the page, or use
git clone) and extract it to a directory - In your chromium-based browser, launch
chrome://extensions - Enable 'Developer Mode'.
- Click 'Load Unpacked Extensions' and point to the above directory.
Known Issue:
For my this bug is not really a problem, but for you it may be one: Hovering over a link will make focused text input fields lose focus (sometimes only temporarily - focus should be restored when you move away from the link). This fault is not yet resolved due to my very limited JavaScript Skills, but if you claim to be a "modern web developer" you are happily invited to fix this issue, of course.
