What's new in Copy Text Easily

Every release, newest first. Now on v3.2.0, released November 9, 2026.

v3.2.0

Latest
New
  • Works Right After Install: New installs work right away on tabs that are already open, with no reload.
  • Quick First-Time Setup: A short setup on first open lets new users choose between holding a key or always on.
Changed
  • Focused Sentence Outline: Sentences mode outlines just the sentence under the cursor instead of the whole block, with one continuous outline around it.
Fixed
  • Right Sentence on More Pages: Sentences mode picks the right sentence on pages with hidden text.

v3.1.0

New
  • Ctrl+C Copies Saved to Your Clipboard: Hover over any text, link or dropdown and press Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on Mac). The copy now appears in your clipboard history for everyone, not just Pro users.
  • Copy Confirmation for Ctrl+C: The "Text copied" notification now also confirms copies made with Ctrl+C, such as "Sentence 2 copied" in Sentences mode.
Changed
  • Safer Import: Importing clipboard history now asks before replacing the items you already have, and tells you how many will be replaced.
Fixed
  • Right Sentence with Ctrl+C: In Sentences mode, Ctrl+C now copies the sentence shown in the preview after you move the cursor within a paragraph.

v3.0.1

Changed
  • Cleaner Copy Notification: The copy notification is smaller and sits lower on the page, clear of the preview.
Fixed
  • Exact Sentence Copy: Sentences mode copies the sentence under your cursor, and the preview updates as you move.
  • Preview Placement: The sentence preview sits outside the paragraph you're hovering, so it no longer covers the text.
  • More Clipboard History: System-wide capture now keeps your newest 2,000 items, up from 100.
  • Fewer Website Conflicts: Fixes an issue that could stop parts of some websites from loading.
  • Smoother Previews: Moving the cursor directly from one paragraph to another no longer skips previews.

v3.0.0

Major
Changed
  • A Fresh New Look: A major redesign with new colors, clearer tabs and smoother transitions across the popup, clipboard and settings.
  • Better Readability: Colors load right away and stay readable, including on dark websites.
  • Keyboard Navigation: A clear focus ring shows where you are when using the keyboard.

v2.8.0

New
  • Choose What a Click Does: A new "On click" option in the popup lets a click copy the text, select and copy it, or only select it.

v2.7.2

Changed
  • Feedback Link: Updated the feedback form that opens after uninstalling.

v2.7.1

New
  • Hide Copy Notifications: Option to hide toast notifications when copying text. Toggle this setting in Settings > General > Copy & Paste to disable copy notifications for a cleaner experience.
  • Paste from Clipboard History: New paste functionality allows you to paste copied text using your mouse: middle mouse button click or modifier key + click (Ctrl/Cmd, Shift, or Alt + click). Configure your preferred method in Settings > General > Copy & Paste.
  • Smart Link Text Copying: When copying link text, the extension now copies exactly what's visible in the preview bubble, ensuring consistency between what you see and what gets copied. This is especially useful for card-style links where only a header or description is visible.

v2.7.0

New
  • Full Text Preview Mode: New option in settings to display complete text with scrollbar instead of truncated preview. Perfect for reading long content without losing context.
  • Click & Hold to Copy Links: Link copying now works without requiring keypress mode. Simply click and hold any link to copy its text or URL. Choose your preference (text or URL) in the popup settings.
  • Pin Preview for Reading: Pin the preview bubble to keep it visible while scrolling through pages. Scroll through long text within the pinned preview without losing your place. Unpin with Escape key or the pin button.
  • Reddit Hidden Text Preview: Preview collapsed or hidden Reddit post text directly in the preview bubble without opening the post. Hover over Reddit posts to see full content instantly.
Improved
  • Organized Settings Layout: Settings are now grouped by category (Floating Window and Preview sections) for easier navigation and management.
