- Hi, I like this App. Please provide an alternative key other than ctrl shift or alt. Coz when pressing alt tab or ctrl tab the shortcuts not working. ~ This symbol is perfect in my opinion

- Copy Text Easily has become one of my favorite tools for streamlining my daily workflow. It does exactly what the name promisesโlets you copy text quickly and effortlessly. Whether Iโm grabbing snippets for notes, copying code, or organizing content from different sources, this tool saves me a ton of time. What I love most is how intuitive it is. Thereโs no unnecessary setup or clutterโjust a clean, efficient way to copy and manage text. Itโs a small utility, but it makes a big difference in how smoothly I can work.
- Roofers Are Liars
- Had to enable new permissions - Let this extension read all copied data and data on websites. Why is that permission needed now? I am giving this a 2 star rating.
- Daniel
- I searched so long for an app like this, working like a charme with the pro version - when an app is a really addon and working perfect no problem to pay a one time fee for it. Some users should think about it when they think everything in the world should be free ... Great work! Thank you!
- Osman Syed
- I need the pro version
- Vijay Rathod
- Not that useful
- Marc Mallari
- This extension is absolutely perfect, I've been using it for over a year. But recently, it seems like it got updated, so it doesn't work the same way as before. Now, when I try to click any of the shortcuts, it blinks, unlike before when holding it down didnโt cause any blinking. Hopefully, that gets fixed, or is there any other way to revert to the old version?

- Tomi Oluwadare
- This extension is the perfect fit for my project. It works seamlessly and doesn't cause any issue for my browser. You just have to choose if you want it to copy per paragraph or per sentence and that is all. Also, very easy to use.
- Nฦฐแปc Trร Xanh
- thank you so much, but can you separate paragraphs with words. I mean when I want to copy just 5 words in a sentence, app auto copy it as a paragraph with full sentences. please use short keys to adjust it. for example : ctrl + shilt => copy paragraphs , normal is copy word by word. Please add short key. Thanks again for your good app.

- snehil barthwal

- Extra Virgi
- Tested it, works flawlessly. I didn't experience any browser slowdown that another review was suggesting. Highly recommended if you want to copy larger chunks of text with one click!

- Tried It Slows the browser too much along with switching tabs is even slower. Not worth it.
- Youssef Jeddi
- nice extension
- Bryan Fisk
- Works well on paragraphs and sentences. It would be useful if this could select TABLES. Having to select the TABLE parent element and remove the paragrapth text surrounding the table after pasting is a bit of a pain.
- Eduardo
- Works perfectly, thank you!
- Andrew Pearen
- I am trying this out. Shoot I cant post this without a rating, so to be fair i will give it a 5/5 for what is says it does and it does it but i am providing this posting as a functional user feedback. P.S. I am also willing to be a alpha/beta tester to help, as I have to but my money were my mouth is. (stand up or shut up I guess to me) What I have been looking for is an extension to capture text either all of the text in a frame or highlight it and then have it saved to a file, or appended to the file i have been using. this is the closed extension I have found that marches my use case. But not quiet, and i guess I am lazy or needy as I want to use the lease amount of key strokes or clicks as possible, and I am not a gen X or Y. I used to have to connect a printer with a cable and change DIN switched when setting up my first computer / printer combo.
- Ryan Culverwell
- It just works as needed, thank you.
- Anastasios Papanthymou

- Microsoft recently changed Mini Menu in Edge web browser. Now when you select some text on a website, the โSearchโ option appears by default in the Mini Menu instead of the โCopyโ option. I used the "Copy" feature all day long for work. Now have switched back to Google Chrome and with this Extension, I am able to work efficiently once again.

- Cool! In the case of custom selection mode, do not deselect the text status after selecting the text. Because this will affect the normal operation of other language translation extensions through selection

- This is a very useful tool that I depend on daily to copy and paste news articles, etc to texts-to-speech software, to have them read out to me, so that I don't have to strain my eyes from doing lots of reading - due to weakening eyesight as I age. My only disappointment is that is does not work when trying to copy texts from the comment sections of sites like yahoo.com/news, washingtonpost, etc., and one has to resort to the tedious method of highlighting texts, right-clicking and choosing copy (or use Ctrl C) to get the job done. Would be very help if the developer of this handy tool could look into this issue.
