Text Quick Focus & Plain Copy

About

■ Tired of fighting with text selection?

• Selecting text on a webpage doesn't quite work the way you want
• Buttons and links — clicking them triggers the action instead of letting you copy the text
• Your selection runs into the wrong area mid-paragraph, and you have to start over
• Copied text comes with unwanted fonts, colors, and links, and you end up reformatting after pasting

Text Quick Focus & Plain Copy is a quietly useful tool that solves both at once: hard-to-select web text, and the formatting cleanup after pasting.


■ How it works

1. Click the toolbar icon to turn it ON (an "ON" badge appears).
2. Hover over any text element — it gets highlighted with a blue outline.
3. Click once — the whole element is selected.
4. Click the same element again — the text is copied to your clipboard as plain text, and a small "Copied!" toast appears.
5. Click the icon again to turn it OFF and return to normal browsing.

You can also press Cmd+C / Ctrl+C after the first click — the result will still be plain text.


■ What makes it useful

• One-click ON/OFF from the toolbar — no shortcuts to memorize.
• Per-tab toggle — only affects the tab where you turned it on; other tabs behave normally.
• Smart "smallest unit" detection — selects exactly the paragraph (<p>), list item (<li>), or other text-containing element you intended.
• Works on link-style buttons too — including <input type="button" value="Read more"> and <button> elements.
• Zero data collection — no tracking, no ads, no external servers. Everything runs in your browser.


■ Privacy & Permissions

• Text Quick Focus & Plain Copy does not collect, store, or transmit your browsing history, page content, or any input. Everything runs locally in your browser.
• activeTab — applies the feature only to the tab where you clicked the toolbar icon.
• Runs on all sites (<all_urls>) — this is a general-purpose tool meant to work on any website, so it cannot be limited to specific domains. No page content is sent anywhere.
