AutoCopySelectionText.uc.js and timer

[Orriky]

Hi, I'd like you consider an improvement for this useful script. I'd prefer to copy the selected text only when the left mouse button is keep pressed for a specified time after you have selected your text. You can set time to zero if you want the script works as it does now.

Thanks

Done, I don't use this script, may be has bugs.

Thanks!!!

It's wonderful. Maybe it has some bugs as you said, however it's already more useful to me.

I'd like also the autocopy will be available even in the input boxes, urlbar etc

The next few days I intend to travel with my family. I will take a look in the next week.

Now available in the input boxes of webpages. I think auto copy it's not suitable for urlbar. So i've not Integrated within this script. I give you a demo sciprt for copy urlbar script as follow

if (location.href.startsWith('chrome://browser/content/browser.x')) {
    document.getElementById('urlbar-input').addEventListener('mouseup', function(e) {
        if (e.button == 0)  {
            var input = event.target;
            var gClipboardHelper = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/widget/clipboardhelper;1'].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIClipboardHelper);
            gClipboardHelper.copyString(input.value.substring(input.selectionStart, input.selectionEnd));
        }
    }, false);
}

Thanks again, great work.

Are you interested in making this script work again? https://gist.github.com/Griever/709653 overwriteMiddleMousePaste.uc.js

// ==UserScript==
// @name           overwriteMiddleMousePaste.uc.js
// @namespace      http://d.hatena.ne.jp/Griever/
// @include        main
// ==/UserScript==

document.documentElement.addEventListener("click", function(event){
    if (event.button !== 1 || !gPrefService.getBoolPref('middlemouse.paste')) return;

    var localName = event.target.localName.toLowerCase();
    if ((localName === 'input' || localName === 'textarea' || localName === 'textbox') && 
            document.commandDispatcher.getControllerForCommand("cmd_paste") ){
        goDoCommand("cmd_paste");
        event.preventDefault();

}

Firefox doesn't overwrite the already selected text when you paste the clipboard content using middle click. That's annoying to me.

Nope, uc script can not modified web page directly, need to load in framscript, you can refer to AutoCopySelectionText.uc.js
