Hi! Awesome and great extension. Feature request for encoded URLs (eg. with cyrilic characters) support inside Markdown.
eg.

similar to firefox quantum config:

about:config
browser.urlbar.decodeURLsOnCopy: true

如题，需要 Disable 一下重新启用才能生效。

• Firefox，Version 110

This seems a bit intrusive for a copy-link feature, why is this needed?

Hey! Thanks for the very useful extension!

I noticed that the library you're using to convert HTML to BBCode doesn't support converting HTML tables. I was just wondering if you'd be interested in adding support for that somehow.

I also noticed that it converts elements with text-align: center to [center][/center], but in Gazelle (a private tracker web framework) it's [align=center][/align]. I suppose these things are different everywhere because there is no real standard, so you'd need user-facing options to enable/disable/modify tags accordingly which seems a bit difficult. But yea just something to take into consideration.

就是右键链接时, 仅复制链接对应的文本, 而不复制链接, 谢谢~~

最近chrome更新之后，发现提示错误用不了了

Uncaught (in promise) [object Object]
上下文
_generated_background_page.html
堆叠追踪
browser-polyfill.min.js:1 (匿名函数)

There are a lot of copycat projects on GitHub and finding this project is hard.

For example: https://github.com/search?q=copycat+chrome+extension&ref=opensearch&type=repositories

Perhaps adding chrome extension or browser extension to the project description would help.

hello,

is it possible to support Asciidoc and reStructuredText?

thanks in advance

这几天使用copy cat时发现剪贴板里完全没有内容，回头发现copy cat最近更新了一次，不知是否为新版本问题。
浏览器为Chrome，版本 55.0.2883.87 (64-bit)

Do you have the idea adding customized options like Copy Selected Tabs to Clipboard

灵感来源：https://x.com/HzaoHzao/status/1733337729436618997?s=20

Hope to support chrome extension shortcuts.
For example, set alt+c to copy html as markdown.

URL: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Ring_(mathematics)
"Tab link -> Markdown":
[Ring (mathematics) - Wikiwand](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Ring_(mathematics))
which caused problem in some Markdown parser

I recommends outputting this:
[Field (mathematics) - Wikiwand](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Field_%28mathematics%29)

就是将复制所选内容和复制标签内容合为一体，作为一个选项。比如：

Learn Git and GitHub without any code!

Using the Hello World guide, you’ll start a branch, write comments, and open a pull request.

I noticed that some of Copycat's advanced copy features fail when copying selected content on some pages (such as Bing AI).
After investigation, it is suspected that the problem is related to the Shadow DOM of Web Components.
I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a new API to resolve this issue.

或者提供一个选项开关 log

Copycat新版本Chrome浏览器77无法正常使用，测试FireFox浏览器68可以正常使用，希望作者继续更新，谢谢你带给我们如此方便的扩展

For example github issue.

thanks for this extension, it's the best extension used to copy as markdown.
so how about add these features:

• hide context menu
• only display one item(copy as markdown, copy as html, or other things we can configure) instead of current TWO level menu

Reason

I often copy some text from vscode and paste it to confference, but will also paste with css style. So, it would be convinnient to add a context menu item to paste the content of clipboard to pure text.

Expect

Add a new menu item named Paste Content� of Clipboard as Pure Text

It would be great if Copycat also implemented a way to clean up URLs of tracking junk, as Brave does with the Copy Clean Link command:

Edge从插件商店下载并重启浏览器后，在右键菜单中未出现相关菜单项。

Feature request: Support copy tab Title and Link as rich text
So that we can easily insert into rich-text documents, to get a clickable text (which has URL linked).

This is a brilliant extension that just works.

I was wondering if it's possible to add GIF. Currently, I was trying to copy this GIF but it only copied it as image in Windows.

Then I tried Copycat but it doesn't have support for GIF option. Any chances it could work?

I'm finding use cases where I need to manipulate a certain set of attributes rather frequently and would like to convert them to another form of output that simplifies it over standard HTML or other options. Could you give us a custom option that will utilize a (or a series of) regular expression to reflow the copied content to a new format output for the pasteboard/clipboard?

• Firefox does not yet support background.service_worker.

Has it stopped working only for me? Everything was still fine this afternoon, but it broke down in the evening. I think after the update. It partially works, partially doesn't. In particular, bbcode does not work

I'm interested in removing most CSS and extra attributes to my HTML copying, but the (no attributes) mode breaks IMG embeds since it removes the src= attribute which leaves just empty IMG tags. I'd rather keep the images intact.

One reason for this is sites like Wordpress Blogs, which add a bunch of excess attributes to their image embeds making them a mess to clean afterwards.

If the text itself includes asterisks or angle-brackets, they aren't escaped into * or < >

So the resulting markdown doesn't match the original. That is to say, this italicized and censored internal thought:
F*ck, what is going on?
becomes:
Fck, what is going on?*
The asterisk in the text isn't escaped, so it's treated as markdown when it shouldn't be.

This looks like it might be a Turndown issue, as escaping was fixed in the recent 5.0.0 release, so if you're using a version older than that you'll have the same bugs.

In case of something like <em><strong>strong</strong> in em</em> Copycat produces ***strong** in em* which some parsers (notably, Reddit) don't handle correctly. It doesn't help that * can be an indicator for a list. It seems like denoting outer emphasis with _'s instead of *'s, i.e. _**strong** in em_ makes them parse this correctly. Can this be implemented?

Context menu is missing until the extension is toggled off and on again in Firefox 114.0.2 on Windows. This behavior has been observed for several months already.

If there is a text with both bold and italic, Copycat will convert them to ***with both bold and italics***. It should be _**with both bold and italics**_ or __*with both bold and italics*__ etc.

It is rather common and annoying to find, on the internet, table cells which have new lines in.

The new lines are rendered as they are, i.e. as new lines, which clashes with the new line character used in markdown to separate rows.
As a result, html tables which contain <br> or <p> elements break the rendered markdown.

For instance an html table structured like this:

|  heading 1   |   heading 2   |
|--------------|---------------|
| a line       | just one line |
| another line |               |
|--------------|---------------|
| and so       |               |
| on           |               |
|--------------|---------------|
|              |               |

might be rendered preserving the <br> and <p> tags

|       heading 1        |   heading 2   |
|------------------------|---------------|
| a line<br>another line | just one line |
| and so<p>on</p>        |               |

And, if it may make sense, and could be easy to implement, it could be useful to implement some dialect that supports multiline-row and recursively render the cell content as a new markdown text. So for instance complex formatting might be preserved within a cell (for instance bulleted lists, italics and so on):

|   heading 1    |   heading 2   |
|----------------|---------------|
| * a line       | just one line |
| * another line |               |
|----------------|---------------|
| and so         |               |
| _on_           |               |
|----------------|---------------|

(see azure devops - How can I add a table with multi-row cells to a readme in VSTS? - Stack Overflow for info about multi-line tables).

in_short

Copycat has been working fine before in Chrome.

But in the recent 2~3? weeks, Copycat starts to not working sometimes (especially the Hotkey).

I have not idea what is the cause.

details

• I have set hotkey shortcuts for Copycat in Chrome,
  and it has been working before.

• Recently,
  when I:

  1. open a web page (a tab)
  2. select some text & try to copy into Markdown/Html/PlainText ...

  -> 70% of the time, the Copycat Hotkey fails to copy -- nothing is copied/updated to the Clipboard (-- Clipboard remains unchanged).

  • (70% -- the percentage is base on the page-open actions, not the copy actions (see below [page-open action based]))

• I tired to refresh the page / restart the browser / disable&enable the extension / disable all other extension.
  Still, cant solve the problem -- it still only works sometimes
  (--ie: if you refresh multiple times, you may eventually get a page that have Copycat working...)

  I tried to reinstall the extension, not helping.

• If the page was opened & copycat works, then it remains to work, as long as I dont refresh the page.
  If the page was opened & copycat doesnt work, then it remains to doesnt work, as long as I dont refresh the page.
  (page-open action based)

  So, it may be:
  working in one web page (one tab),
  while failing to work in another web page (another tab).

  Its not for a specific website -- it can happen to any website.

• If I right click and use the context menu (not hotkey) to select Copycat to copy,
  -> still.... 60% of the time, the Copycat (Context Menu) fails to copy,

  There could be a case where: Hotkey is not working & Context menu is not working either. (most of the time)
  There could be a case where: Hotkey is not working, but Context menu works. (sometimes)

• I tried to assign the same Hotkey to other extensions -- the Hotkey is working fine for others, but not for Copycat.
