Copiar um link inclui a contagem de cliques

[yanokwa (Yaw Anokwa)]

Às vezes, tenho textos com uma URL em que as pessoas clicaram, digamos, 9 vezes.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet https://example.com/NQoiffrCbcaZHcKQe5syENZiKWsvEc onsetetur sadipscing elitr.

Alguém copia esse texto e o cola em outra postagem. Eles não percebem o 9 no final. Assim, temos agora um link que parece válido, mas não é.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet https://example.com/NQoiffrCbcaZHcKQe5syENZiKWsvEc9 onsetetur sadipscing elitr.

Isso acontece porque temos um grupo de pessoas que se revezam escrevendo anúncios da comunidade, que sempre têm um link para um Google Doc ativo. A Pessoa B copia o anúncio anterior da Pessoa A e, pronto, links quebrados por toda parte. Poderia ser adicionado um espaço antes da contagem de cliques?

I believe that’d be a markup issue @awesomerobot I do like the suggestion if we can do it easily, have seen this before.

It’s possible we could have a space here inserted, but even copying the number is superfluous imo, it should be in <span class='ignore-copy'> or something like that and we should get it into the clipboard without the number.

Also @yanokwa do you have enable rich text paste enabled, does this resolve your issue?

@vinothkannans we got to spend some time improving internal usage of enable rich text paste, it is a bit flakey.

There’s a way to do prevent copying using psuedo elements, but it’s not great for accessibility (“CSS generated content is not content”)

Prevent an element from being selected and copied with CSS

Adding a space is a small improvement that shouldn’t impact anything else though.

This is always to my s

I do not rich text paste enabled and when I tried, it did not resolve the issue.

PR to add a space before the counter here:

Adding space before URL click-counter for improved copy & paste-ability

[awesomerobot (Kris)]

Space is added, so now you can copy & paste without breaking the link… like so:

Still room for future improvement, like not allowing click counts into the clipboard at all.

Confirmed looks good, results in:

Great idea @yanokwa
