Ctrl + Shift + C Should Copy is a Chrome extension that intercepts the Ctrl+Shift+C keyboard shortcut, preventing the Developer Tools from opening and instead copying the selected text to the clipboard. This ensures a seamless copy experience on web pages without triggering the developer console.

The extension injects a minimal script directly into web pages, but does not run on browser UI or internal pages. Users concerned with permissions can review the simple script on GitHub or via online extension viewers. Additionally, the script is compatible with user script managers like Greasemonkey and Tampermonkey for those preferring custom scripts.

This utility is ideal for users who frequently copy content on the web but accidentally open developer tools with Ctrl+Shift+C. The icon for the extension is sourced from iconsdb.com, providing a clear visual cue for copying functionality.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Ctrl + Shift + C Should Copy requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
