Feature Request: Copy text from text link
-
Would it be possible to change the behavior of selecting text in text links to the behavior of the old Opera. I can't just select the name in the middle because I can only select text within a text link if I select it from the beginning or the end. With the old Opera you can select any text within a text link as if this would be normal text. I always have to select a lot of information I don't want because I can't simply select a word in the middle. This is especially annoying when using sites like Reddit. Its hard to find the exact pixel for selecting only the text of the text link without selecting half of the page or clicking on the link.

@Wicket1138 - one of our users wrote an extension for that: Select Like a Boss

@Wicket1138 It can already be done. Just make sure you start dragging above or below the link.

@dLeon Practice makes perfect.
It's a little easier in Opera 12.17, but you have to hold down Ctrl while selecting text in a link. My method works in Opera 12.17 too without the Ctrl key.

@Ayespy Thank you! This extension is great!

I am using Alt while selecting text.
PS: I miss the great Opera presto link selection
