Autocopy on selection - present but buggy?

Unread post by back2themoon » 2014-10-11, 10:01

With the recent minor problems of the v.25 update, Fastest Search stopped working. One if its many useful features was "Autocopy text to clipboard upon selection". There are other extensions for this but it seems this feature is included in Firefox/Pale Moon but "dormant"/not working for Windows. It's a great, non-exotic feature and maybe worth investigating a fix?

Thanks for the suggestion but my take on clipboard handling is to clearly separate text selection from text manipulation.

Ok, thanks. For anyone interested, Copy On Select is a nice, lightweight solution. Also tried AutoCopy 2 (more features) but it doesn't seem to work with PM 25.
