en It works! Like others, I would like to have a keyboard shortcut for it (shift-ctrl-C maybe?). Ideally, it would be nice if it could (in the browser, not any other context) usurp the normal ctrl-C (or cmd-C on a Mac) operation to and copy without formatting by default, then require a different code like shift-ctrl-C to copy with formatting, since copying with formatting is nearly never actually wanted, but might be in some specialized context. But I can't take away a star for the extension not having a new feature I wish it had. For the feature it is advertised as providing, it provides it perfectly.

en This extension is very good but it also removes line breaks so all the text output is in one big section, which is not nice. please add an option to be able to save the line breaks. thanks.
