ColumnCopy: Efficient HTML Table Copying Tool

ColumnCopy is a handy Chrome extension designed to make copying HTML tables or columns as simple as possible. It comes with configurable keyboard shortcuts, allowing users to copy a table column with Alt + Click, and the whole table with Shift + Alt + Click. Version upgrades have addressed user-reported issues including improving nested table handling, whitespace stripping, and correcting spelling. One notable feature is the hyperlink preservation support available on the options page. It’s a highly recommended tool for those who regularly work with HTML tables.

Someone needs to write an alternative if we lose this.

I have been using this for over a decade and I guess I took it for granted :( I have never thought to look for alternatives because it was simple and it worked. I feel like an era is over. Is it still cool to say "Thanks, Obama,"? 🤣
