[Feature Request] Make video subtitles selectable #3195

Open 1over137 opened 1 year ago

1over137 commented 1 year ago

Guidelines

Problem Description

Video subtitles are not selectable. Making it selectable should be a minimal change, and would be very helpful for language learners who want to look up words or translate sentences.

Proposed Solution

Set the text to selectable. I think it would be fine for it to just be the new behavior, but it would be fine to make it an option as well.

Alternatives Considered

In browsers, there are various extensions to make them selectable, but they are not available for use in freetube.

ease of use improvement

Hi @1over137 what about downloading the subtitles from within FT and opening them in your editor of choice
