# selection-to-clipboard
|
|
|
|
## What it does
|
|
|
|
This extension includes:
|
|
|
|
* a content script, "content-script.js", that is injected into all pages
|
|
|
|
The content script listens for text selections in the page it's attached to and copies the text to the clipboard on mouse-up.
|
|
|
|
## What it shows
|
|
|
|
* how to inject content scripts declaratively using manifest.json
|
|
* how to write to the [clipboard](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Interact_with_the_clipboard)
|
|
|
|
## Note
|
|
* If the `copySelection` function was in a browser event `clipboardWrite` permissions would be required e.g.
|
|
```
|
|
"permissions": ["clipboardWrite"]
|
|
```
|
|
