AutoCopy Firefox Extension

January 6th, 2008  |  Published in Firefox  |  4 Comments

firefox_25 Here’s another Firefox extension that bloggers are sure to love: the AutoCopy Firefox extension lets you select text and have it automatically copied to your clipboard, no Ctrl + C necessary. The option to “Paste on Middle Click” bypasses the Ctrl + V option, too. If you left-click on the Autocopy statusbar button, you can quickly enable and disable it, or you can just hold down the Ctrl key to do the same. There are also options that let you undo a copy, view the clipboard history of up to 10 items, paste to the search or location box with a click, open text-only URL in a new window when selected, and a URL to clipboard feature that is especially helpful to keep track of the site you are quoting from. You can configure the extension to make the statusbar button blink whenever something is copied to the clipboard, too. If you are also using my favorite Copy Plain Text extension, AutoCopy will work with that as well, making AutoCopy a must-have for any web writers. (via LifeHacker)

    How is the “Paste on Middle Click” option supposed to work? I have it checked on, but when I click the wheel (that is middle click, isn’t it?), nothing happens. Thank you.

    Still no answer? Hmm, sorry, but why are you blogging when you can’t answer follow-up questions? Just wondering…

    Love the autocopy so much, I find myself longing for it when I have to use a machine without the extension. Thanks!
