About Copy Please! - Clean, Format & Auto Copy Text Anywhere
Stop pressing Ctrl+C. With Copy Please!, the moment you select text it's already on your clipboard - and you can clean, transform and unlock it along the way.
No accounts, no tracking - everything runs locally in your browser.
▬▬▬ What it does ▬▬▬
▐ Auto-copy on selection
Select text once and it's copied immediately. Choose plain or rich text, and switch modes with a key when you need to.
▐ Unlock blocked sites
Restore copy, right-click and text selection on restricted pages - it works on sites where other extensions fail.
▐ Clean & transform text
- Remove hidden characters, em dashes, smart quotes and emoji
- Change case: UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, camelCase, snake_case, kebab-case, leet
- Trim whitespace automatically
- Add metadata (URL, title, date, time) with custom templates
▐ Advanced find & replace (regex)
- Live tester to preview rules before saving
- Quick-insert helpers and a cheat sheet
- Ready-made patterns: collapse spacing, extract emails & links, mask sensitive data, strip Markdown, redact logs
▐ Paste with middle-click
Paste using the middle mouse button.
▐ Clipboard control
- Auto-clear the clipboard after a delay or after pasting
- Replace existing field content when pasting
▐ Per-site control
- Toggle each feature per site: auto-copy, unlock selection, unlock right-click, regex rules
- Enable globally with one switch, or flip the current site from the toolbar
- Alt+Shift+Click copies text from buttons and links without triggering them
▐ Notifications
Optional on-screen indicator or system notification when copying - position it anywhere, or next to the cursor.
▬▬▬ Why use it ▬▬▬
- Stop pressing Ctrl+C - selecting *is* copying
- Access text on restricted websites
- Clean text before it ever reaches your clipboard
- Stay private - no tracking, everything runs locally
▬▬▬ Good to know ▬▬▬
- Works on almost all websites
- For local files (file:/// URLs), enable "Allow access to file URLs" in the extension settings
- Most settings apply instantly — no reload required
- Auto-copy does not work in Google Docs or Word Online (canvas-based editors)

- Per-site rule picker in the popup. A new Rule dropdown appears under the Custom Regex toggle
- Per-pattern rule picker in the Activation list. Each URL-patterns row gains a compact `#N` select between the regex switch and the edit button.
【0.13.0 - 2026-05-20】
- Custom regex is now per-site.
- !-prefix negation is gone. Per-page negation rows aren't needed anymore - a row at the exact pattern is the override.

- Added "Unlock text selection" and "Unlock right click" toggles to the popup under a new "Global unlocks" section so the two global settings can be flipped without opening Options
- Middle-click paste now places the caret at the click point
- Fixed Alt+Shift click-to-copy on buttons and links not running text transforms - case conversion, AI-character removal, and the comment template now apply the same way as auto-copy
