Does nothing. Nothing on the clipboard

Thomas Rosenberg, 2025-02-01

Tried "Copy selection as markdown", nothing is added to the Clipboard

Vladimir Alexiev, 2024-12-23

I just now tried the extension. Made a selection and used the context menu to copy as markdown, the clipboard is not changed and effectively the extension does nothing.
