Martin Cigorraga (ID: 0000007d21537571) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/07/2014 It's just me or the text highlighted by this extension won't copy to the paste buffer when Ctrl+C? I didn't found yet any problems while copying with the mouse but being myself a mostly keyboard user have to use the mouse to such a common task is so annoying...
