3 months ago The uri parts module already shows them decoded. Is that what you were asking for the decode part?
As for encoding, the pattern module can do that if you want to create a custom url, with the "encode" set to true.

Wasn't aware of this, but no, this is not what I meant. The uri parts module displays the decoded parts but this does not apply to the original URL => copying, sharing, opening the full URL is still encoded

3 months ago You want to copy the url decoded? But then it won't be a valid url... Can you provide an example? Ideally some steps of what you want to achieve. I'm sorry but I'm not following.
Btw, you can click a decoded part to replace the current url with it (you lose the rest of the url, but that's usually what you want...)

I was planning on suggesting this exact enhancement myself!
I'll give you a few examples of percent-decoding URLs containing Hebrew text. BTW, in most cases when I use this popular online URL Decoder/Encoder, the decoded URL remains a valid URL:
Special cases where the decoded URL is not valid include those with special characters such as double-quotes in the URL, for example, this one: https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%A7%D7%98%D7%92%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%94%3A%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%91%D7%99%D7%9D_%D7%95%D7%91%D7%99%D7%98%D7%95%D7%99%D7%99%D7%9D_%D7%97%D7%96%22%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%99%D7%9D
In such a case, leaving just that problematic special character percent-encoded solves the problem, like this: https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/קטגוריה:ניבים_וביטויים_חז%22ליים
I found a list of such problematic characters inside the (English) Wikipedia page on Percent-encoding:

Describe your suggested feature
Module to decode/encode URLs on demand. Probably should only be applied on the URL Parts. Useful for sharing safe URLs (encode) and getting human readable URLs (decode)
