Automatically Copy to Clipboard While Selecting Text in Firefox

When you spend a lot of time in front of your computer, many small actions performed repeatedly can add up to a lot of wasted time. The worst of these small offenders is the copy and paste… so how can we simplify this in Firefox?

The AutoCopy extension will automatically copy to the clipboard any text you select, and allow you to paste it with a middle click anywhere in Firefox.

All you have to do is select the text you want to copy, and it will be copied to the clipboard right away.

You'll notice the new icon in the status bar, which will let you change a few options or open up the full options panel.

There's lots more options in the options panel… you'll notice the keyboard shortcut options as well.

Once you get used to this extension, you'll wonder how you lived without it

Automate Adding Bookmarks to del.icio.us

I use del.icio.us to store all of my infrequently used bookmarks, but I've found that browsing by tag just isn't very efficient for me. I always use a full text search through my bookmarks to find what I'm looking for, so what I'm really looking for is a single-click save solution similar to the star button on the Flock browser.

Greasemonkey comes to the rescue with the del.icio.us autotag user script, but the problem is that you can't edit the bookmarks by clicking on the del.icio.us tag button, because that script always immediately submits the form, and also duplicates the tags.

I've created an upgrade to the script that fixes those problems. Just like the first script, it will automatically add the popular and recommended tags:

Here's the details:

• Automatically enters in popular or recommended tags, submits the form and closes the pop-up window.
• If the bookmark has already been saved, it will leave the edit window as is.
• Doesn't duplicate the tags if you use the tag button more than once.

And here's the source code, in case you are interested:

var poptags = unsafeWindow['tagPop'];
if (poptags) { // test to make sure we're on the post page
if (poptags == "") {
var rectags = unsafeWindow['tagRec'];
var finaltags = rectags.toString();
} else {
var finaltags = poptags.toString();
}
if(document.getElementById('tags').value.length > 4){
editmode = 1;
}else{
editmode = 0;
var myarray = finaltags.split(",");
for (var tag in myarray) {
if (document.getElementById('tags').value.search(/myarray[tag]/) == -1) {
document.getElementById('tags').value += myarray[tag] + " ";
}
}
}
if(finaltags.length > 4 && editmode == 0){
document.getElementById('delForm').submit();
}
}

I simply couldn't live without this script, but I wouldn't recommend using it if you like to browse by tag.

Add Search Forms to the Firefox Search Bar

Wouldn't it be cool if you could add search plugins for any search form to the Firefox Search Bar, instead of having to create the plugin yourself or wait for the site owner to stop being lazy and make one?

It's good that there's an extension for Firefox called Add to Search Bar that will add a new context menu item to let you create your own search plugins on the fly.

For instance, you can right-click on the search box here and then choose Add to Search Bar…

You'll be prompted to give it a name, I chose to shorten the site title down a bit.

And there we go, now I can search anything from Firefox.

I've tested this on a number of sites, seems to work pretty well… at some point I'll stop being lazy and make an official search plugin.
