## Description

**Text MultiCopy** is a compact and powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your copy-pasting productivity. It allows you to save multiple pieces of text from various locations before pasting them all together into the clipboard. This functionality is especially useful when gathering references for articles, theses, or any extensive writing tasks.

Key features include support for any website or local files opened in the browser, UTF-8 text compatibility for all languages, persistent saved data even after restarting your browser or computer, and customizable options such as text dividers, formatting styles (HTML, BBCode), and inclusion of source information like URL, title, and timestamps. It also supports keyboard shortcuts (default save key: F8) for efficient operation, duplicate entry removal, data editing, and exporting saved texts to files.

Privacy-conscious users will appreciate that Text MultiCopy contains no tracking, advertisements, or privacy infringements. Trusted by many users and reviewed externally, it offers seamless integration without interfering with normal copy-paste functions until the saved data is actively copied to the clipboard.
