    Works with Waterfox 56.0.4.1 in OSX Yosemite

    Works great for me!

    I just WISH it could make Copy Plain Text (and maybe Paste Plain Text as well) the *DEFAULT* operation (ctrl-C and context menu, etc) and Copy Formatted Text the operation that I *must* use the menus to use. I use Plain Text FOR MORE!!!

    it worked well for me, copying news-text and posting links as I needed them. While I wait for your new version for quantum (fingers crossed), I have found that I can post text into a translation service called Deepl which removes, happily, all formatting.

    "Copy PlainText" has always been compatible with Firefox Quantum. I wrote it for that reason. Is it possible that you are referring to "Copy Plain Text" (extra space between plain & text) which is a different add-on?

    Excellent extension, thanks for all the hard work!

    Works very well and is great for copying from browsers to HTML format emails, which often makes a complete mess of not only fonts but layout spacing as well

    Would be cool if you could set it on for the browser and that replaces CTRL+C or the copy right click menu. You could toggle it on or off as you want. No idea how feasible that is. With Quantum I assuming probably not :)

    Thank you for your kind comment.
    It is not possible to change the default Firefox Quantum copy function at the moment as there isn't a WebExtension API for it.

    Ottima. Fa quello che serve con semplicità.

    Good work! I hope Firefox adds that API soon.

    Klappt prima. Wäre schön, wenn auch Links heraus genommen werden können.

    Please can you add Copy As Plain Text show under Copy option? Please can you update name Copy Plain Text to Copy As Plain Text?

    Sorry for my previous review where my frustration showed up...
    There is a setting to take care of the long dash which was not a default setting. Couldn't find this earlier.
    Now working perfectly.
    Many Thanks

    I had an option with Copy Plain Text 2 that allowed me to set the plain text copy as default. Could you add it into this WebExtension?

    EDIT: seems to be limited by WebExtension API... Come on Mozilla!

    Thank you!

    As you have noticed, WebExtension API does not allow it at the moment. Once there is such an API, I will add the feature. I added a keyboard shortcut (F7) to ease the operation.

    better than classic "Copy Plain Text" & "Copy Plain Text 2"
  • by LugnutLX, 8 years ago
    Glad I stumbled onto this add-on! Seems to work properly in all the text copy situations I've come across so far. All the other "Copy Plain Text" add-ons seem to have been broken by multiprocess.

    Thank you!!!

    This works perfectly. A bug in Copy Plain Text 2 caused Firefox to lock up completely whenever I accidentally used the Control-C shortcut. Glad to have found this.

    Finally a replacement for the broken "Copy Plain Text 2"! Thanks, works perfectly!
