Command for Copy Page Address

sjetesjete

This thread is from 2018 so I'd like to know whether there are some news on this topic as - from my point of view - implementing this feature should not be rocket science

@sjetesjete When there is some progress, the thread will be tagged as In Progress. There is no change to the tag, so no one is working on it.

This iteration of the feature requests forum started in February 2018, so many more are at least the same age. Many go back five years or more.

@pesala Copy page address is available as a mouse gesture for ages, this was the first part of the feature request. Using quick commands or toggling the floating address bar can also be done for a long time. Don’t think this will ever be consciously handled.

@luetage said in Command for Copy Page Address:

It is not available here. This needs to be a menu item on the Tab Context menu to copy the URL of background tabs.

@pesala Hmm, seems like it isn’t indeed. I’d do it with a bookmarklet. Most of the time there’s workarounds available, waiting for feature requests to be handled can be a tiring business.

stupid hack but if you have access to xdotool (can simulate keypresses) you can do
/usr/bin/xdotool key --clearmodifiers --delay 50 F8 ctrl+c

Put this inside a little shell script and then assign a shortcut to execute that script.

It's a shame this feature isn't yet integrated, I could really use it

@Nekewo There is no need. It is easily simulated with a Quick Command:

Focus Address Field
Delay, 10
Copy
Delay, 10
Focus Page

Then, assign the command to a Mouse Gesture, a Keyboard Shortcut, or a Button. I have a button to the left of the Address Field.

@Pesala It's a really good alternative, quick commands are so useful
Thank you!
