Vimium: Feature: copy a link's URL

Created on 21 Mar 2011  ·  7Comments  ·  Source: philc/vimium

It would be nice to be able to copy a link's URL using Vimium. One approach would be to implement "yf" for yanking a link -- type, y, then use the normal link-follow UI to select the link.

Other ideas are welcome.

@jondubere It's already implemented. The command is yf, as the original comment suggested.

I would love to see this. There are a lot of times I need to copy and paste links with my mouse/touchpad, and it's one of the few things I can't use Vimium to do.

+1 - this would be very handy to have

Would be cool if it showed up on the help page.

I think it does if you click "Show advanced commands"....

How do you show advanced commands? Looking for how to copy URLs without installing another chrome extension for it.

@dm17 open Vimium's Options page, press ?, and then Vimium will show a help dialog, so you can find "Show advanced commands" at its bottom right corner.
