AutoCopy extension for Chrome
This is an extension for Google's Chrome
web browser.
When installed and enabled, it will copy to the computer's clipboard
every text that is selected. This behavior is like Unix terminals,
where selecting text also copies it.
The extensions has these options:
1. Enable/disable copying (on by default)
2. Enable copying text inside textboxes (off by default)
3. Remove selection after copy (off by default)
4. Remove formatting from the selection - copy as simple text (on by default)
Copy with formatting stopped working in Chrome 6, so this option is now
always set (since 1.3.2).

Possible Problems
Chrome extensions that manipulate the contents of a page, work only in http:// pages,
at least at the early stage of Chrome 4 beta.
This is probably due to security considerations.
So this extension will not work in the extension settings page (chrome://) or in
its own options page. It will not work either in https:// pages. Hopefully Google
will sort that out later.
Freeware
This software is free. Like every extension, it is distributed
with the source code and you are encouraged to do anything you
want with it. If you do anything interesting, I'd be happy to
hear about it.
Have fun
