A lightweight tool for copying text from sites like Wikipedia without the bracketed notes.
WikiCopy Extension
Multiple researchers[94][95][96][97][98] all reported instances of coyotes killing bobcats, whereas bobcats killing coyotes is more rare.[93]
These references are an important way to ensure credibility in Wikipedia articles, but maybe you just want to make a note to self, or to share a fun fact with a friend. If you're not worried about citing your sources, the references may be unnecessary clutter - especially in plain text, where they're bigger and can't act as hyperlinks. Maybe you'd rather have something like this:
Multiple researchers all reported instances of coyotes killing bobcats, whereas bobcats killing coyotes is more rare.
That's where this extension comes in. There are two ways to use it:
* Select text, right-click, and choose \"Copy without notes\".
* Select text and use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+X.
That's it! You can still perform regular copying as you usually would. WikiCopy can be used on any site, but it's fine-tuned for Wikipedia.
If the keyboard shortcut doesn't work for you, it may be because Ctrl+X is already taken by something else. There's an easy fix:
1) Navigate to chrome://extensions in your address bar.
2) Scroll down if necessary, and click \"Keyboard Shortcuts\" in the bottom-right.
3) Choose any key combination you like!
