Frequently Asked Questions
What does the shortcut copy first?
If text is selected, Copyany builds a text fragment link for that selection. Otherwise it uses the hovered link, and if nothing is hovered, it falls back to the current page URL.
Which formats are supported?
Markdown, HTML anchor tag, and raw URL. Switch formats in the popup; your choice is remembered.
How do I change the shortcut?
Open chrome://extensions/shortcuts (or your browser’s shortcut settings) and set a new key combo for Copyany.
Will the selection be highlighted when someone opens the link?
Yes. For selected text, Copyany uses a text fragment directive so the destination page scrolls to and highlights the selection.
Does Copyany store or send my clipboard data?
No. Clipboard writes and link formatting happen locally in the browser. Only your format preference is stored locally via extension storage.
