Create Bookmarklet (browser bookmark that executes Javsacript) to copy a given text to Clipboard.
This is the base javascript:
(function (text) {
var node = document.createElement('textarea')
var selection = document.getSelection()
node.textContent = text
document.body.appendChild(node)
selection.removeAllRanges()
node.select()
document.execCommand('copy')
selection.removeAllRanges()
document.body.removeChild(node)
})('Text To Copy')
Minify it (you can use UglifyJS or any other) to get something like this:
!function(a){var b=document.createElement("textarea"),c=document.getSelection();b.textContent=a,document.body.appendChild(b),c.removeAllRanges(),b.select(),document.execCommand("copy"),c.removeAllRanges(),document.body.removeChild(b)}("Text To Copy");
Prefix it with javascript:
:
javascript:!function(a){var b=document.createElement("textarea"),c=document.getSelection();b.textContent=a,document.body.appendChild(b),c.removeAllRanges(),b.select(),document.execCommand("copy"),c.removeAllRanges(),document.body.removeChild(b)}("Text To Copy");
Then add it as a new bookmark, in the URL field:
You can do stuff like a "Copy page title" bookmarklet by simply passing document.title
instead of the fixed string:
javascript:!function(a){var b=document.createElement("textarea"),c=document.getSelection();b.textContent=a,document.body.appendChild(b),c.removeAllRanges(),b.select(),document.execCommand("copy"),c.removeAllRanges(),document.body.removeChild(b)}(document.title);
The code works in Chrome but only when on an actual webpage. It's not working for empty chrome tabs or while viewing extensions (which is my personal use case).
This seems to work as well but the same problem:
