Link to Text Fragment Extension

Update: Chrome now has a built-in feature (\"Copy Link to Highlight\" in the context menu) to copy text fragment links. The extension has an additional feature that allows you to also copy rich links. You can activate this feature in the options.

This extension allows for easily creating a special link to the currently selected text on a page via the context menu. When opening such a special link, a compatible browser will scroll the selected text into view and highlight it.

Usage instructions:

• Select the text that you want to link to.
• Right-click and choose \"Copy Link to Selected Text\" from the context menu.
• If the link creation succeeded, the selected text will be briefly highlighted in yellow.
• Paste your link wherever you want to share it.
• 💡 Pro-tip: you can assign a keyboard shortcut to the copy action!

Luiz Henrique Menezes (ID: 00000044c7661c5f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/04/2023 Infelizmente, se determinado CSS não estiver carregado, ou seja, estiver oculto no momento que a página termina seu carregamento o highlight não funciona

Ron CP (ID: 0000007b4ca58be4) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/12/2023 some bugs exist: 1. if the selected text includes capital letters, the link will not work because it lowers the text in the returned URL For example Secenario: Go to "https://www.google.com", select the text "Google offered" and copy the link to text fragment using this extension. Expected output: https://www.google.com/#:~:text=I%27m%20Feeling%20Lucky-,Google%20offered,-in%3A%20%D7%A2%D7%91%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%AA Actual output: https://www.google.com/#:~:text=Images-,google%20offered,-in%3A%20%20%D7%A2%D7%91%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%AA%20%20%20%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A9 --------------------------- 2 some special characters in the text fragment are not encoded (e.g. "-"), resulting in the link not working
