it does work when i click the icon. but when i press ctrl+shift+c, it opens up a who lot of code boxes on the right side of the screen(developer tools panel). is there a way to fix it?

You saved me! Thanks a lot for your help. My only wish is that.. if I could paste it without the font and size (just text&link) it would be much easier! Now I have to reset the font and size after writing my mail.

Works fine, but my purpose was to copy the clean link, it didn't have any option to set that as the default action.
