Copy Plain Text without any formatting Copy PlainText

Copy PlainText is a tiny extension that removes the formatting from the selection before copying/pasting to/from the Clipboard.

Note: None of my extensions contain any tracking, advertising or privacy infringement.

Features

  • Remove the formatting from the selection before saving to the Clipboard
    (Firefox restricts some functions on some URLs.)
  • Custom Find & Replace (string & Regular Expression) (v1.13)
  • Remove the spaces from the start and end of the selection
  • Remove multiple spaces
  • Keyboard Shortcuts
  • Paste PlainText
  • Help Guide

Apple/Mac Users: if the shortcut keys do not work, try System Preferences - Keyboard - then check “Use all F1,F2, etc. keys as standard function keys."

Note: WebExtension API does not allow setting Copy PlainText as the default copy function of the browser at the moment.
