[Bug 1472585] Re: [browser] add support to copy page link to clipboard
There is already a copy link entry in the contextual menu (long-press on a hyperlink, then tap Copy Link). The link is in the clipboard, and you can paste it in other applications’ text fields (just tested that it works with the messaging app). Note that the functionality itself was broken until recently (see bug #1463435), it is now fixed in the development version and the fix will be part of the next OTA update (next week if everything goes well). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1472585 Title: [browser] add support to copy page link to clipboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1472585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

No, I am not talking about hovering my finger above link, but sharing the currently loaded page, preferably using the menu in the top right corner of the app. There is already a sharing button so it would be nice to include it in it somehow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1472585 Title: [browser] add support to copy page link to clipboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1472585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Almost. It would have if Web Browser wouldn't shorten urls.

Here is a screenshot showing a problem with a proposed solution. But I am not sure if it is a bug or a feature, although it is not much of a feature if you want to manipulate with the url. ** Attachment added: screenshot20150708_153656728.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1472585/+attachment/4426369/+files/screenshot20150708_153656728.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1472585 Title: [browser] add support to copy page link to clipboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1472585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1472585] Re: [browser] add support to copy page link to clipboard
I see what you mean. In theory the content hub should catter for most use cases (send a link by e-mail or share it with social networks). However there is also a way to just copy it to the clipboard: tap on the address bar, it gets focus and the entire URL is selected, then long press anywhere on the URL, and you get a contextual menu with cut/copy/paste options (like any other text field). Does that address your use case? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1472585 Title: [browser] add support to copy page link to clipboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1472585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1472585] Re: [browser] add support to copy page link to clipboard
Ah, the shortening of URLs while focused is a bug indeed (bug #1472161, it’s in fact a recent regression), which is being fixed as I type. Once fixed, you’ll be able to copy the full URL. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1472585 Title: [browser] add support to copy page link to clipboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1472585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1472585] Re: [browser] add support to copy page link to clipboard
I agree with your suggestion. I mentioned it to the maintainers of content-hub, and the good news is that this is being designed (under the codename pasteboard, apparently). ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1472585 Title: [browser] add support to copy page link to clipboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1472585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1472585] Re: [browser] add support to copy page link to clipboard
Thanks for the info and for the link. Then I guess it is ok to close this thread as Invalid. Only thing that bothers me is that in the future it may be necessary to consider adding copy to clipboard feature to the content hub as some applications don't have address bar and yet it may be a good feature to be able to copy a content from it (like public transport schedule or link to a post in a social network or content aggregator app). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1472585 Title: [browser] add support to copy page link to clipboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1472585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
