🚀 KEY FEATURES

🖱️ Smart Context Menu
Right-click anywhere to access a clean, context-aware submenu that adapts to your needs:
• Title + Link: Copies both the Page Title (or Link Text) and the Link.
• Title Only: Grabs just the text.
• Link Only: Grabs just the Link.
• Hyperlink: Copies a clickable rich text link for emails and docs.

⌨️ Keyboard Shortcuts
Speed up your workflow with global shortcuts (fully customizable in your browser's extension settings). Commands are available for all four copy modes, including "Copy Hyperlink".

🧠 Advanced Formatting
• AP-style Title Casing: A smart algorithm formats titles according to AP Stylebook guidelines. It intelligently handles minor words (a, an, the, of), preserves internal capitals (e.g., "iPhone", "YouTube"), and manages possessives correctly.
• Selected Text Support: Highlight text before you copy to automatically include it in your citation. You can choose to place the text Above the link, Below the link, or Ignore it.
