Click Copy Sentence

Sometimes, selecting a piece of text using the mouse cursor might not feel accurate at all. Click Copy Sentence comes as a solution to that problem by allowing Firefox users to copy complete sentences by hovering the mouse over a single word from that construction. However, this add-on won't work when it comes to larger paragraphs.

Once the add-on was installed, its icon will be made visible. Clicking that shortcut will reveal a small window that sports one slider only, which is used for activating or deactivating the add-on.

Activate the add-on and refresh the page to make sure no errors or conflicts arise. Once the Click Copy Sentence is active, test it by hovering the cursor over a complete sentence. The sentence should be underlined from top to bottom if everything is in order. You can then use the CTRL + C hotkey to send that sentence to the clipboard.

Sentences that contain hyperlinks won't be treated as compatible items, so the underlining won't be visible.

Besides the on/off slider, the add-ons menu also comes with a warning. The user is advised to turn off Click Copy Sentence if there is no need for it, as it can break some sites. Don't forget to refresh the page each time you change the add-on's status.

Click Copy Sentence was intended as a companion for Simple Sentence Mining (ssmtool), a program that focuses on language learning and flashcard creation. However, if you are handling sentences on a daily basis, this add-on can be easily used as a standalone solution.

In conclusion, Click Copy Sentence is a slim and straightforward Firefox add-on that helps you copy sentences without the need to select them in their entirety. Just hover the cursor over a word and with a quick copy command, the construction is sent to the clipboard.
