Copy hyperlink as Edge does

# Copy Hyperlink as Edge Does A Chrome extension that mimics Microsoft Edge's built-in "copy page as link" feature — available on any webpage. ## How It Works Press **Cmd+C** (macOS) or **Ctrl+C** (Windows/Linux) on any webpage **without selecting any text**. Instead of copying nothing, the extension automatically copies the page title and URL as a rich-text hyperlink (an anchor element `<a href="URL">Title</a>`). If you have text selected, the shortcut behaves normally and copies the selected text. A small toast notification confirms the copy action. ## Use Cases Paste the copied hyperlink into any rich-text editor that understands HTML or JavaScript DOM objects, for example: - Rich-text input fields in web apps (Gmail, Notion, etc.) - [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) and other Markdown editors that accept pasted hyperlinks - Word processors that preserve hyperlink formatting on paste ## Options Open `chrome://extensions` → find **Copy hyperlink as Edge does** → **Details** → **Extension options** to customize the shortcut. Click **Record**, press the desired combination (e.g. `Ctrl+Shift+L`), then **Save**. ## Permissions - Runs on all `http://` and `https://` pages as a content script - `storage` — to remember your custom shortcut (synced via your Chrome account) - No background service worker; no data is collected or transmitted ## Source Code https://github.com/qxj/copy-hyperlink
