Update: v0.19.5 - Text Selection Support
Just released a new version of Clip To Discourse
What’s New
- Automatic selection detection: When you have text selected on a page, the extension now detects it automatically and shows you exactly what will be clipped (character and word count)
- New “Text Selection” clip style: Joins the existing Title+URL, Excerpt, and Full Text options as a 4th clip style
- Smart auto-selection: When text is selected, the extension automatically switches to “Text Selection” mode so you know exactly what you’re clipping
- Right-click context menu: Added a simple “Clip to Discourse” context menu item that opens the popup (works with or without selection)
- Customizable template: The text selection template can be customized in settings, just like the other clip styles
This makes it super quick to highlight a quote or passage and clip it directly to your Discourse with proper context (page title + URL + your selected text).
Coming Soon
Currently working on implementing the Discourse User API flow, which will allow users to authorize the extension via OAuth without needing an Admin to create API keys. This will make the extension much easier to use on shared or public Discourse instances!
