First of all thanks for constantly adding new features to this extension and making it better. I was a user of vimium but switched to vimium-c for the autoOpen feature (saw your comment in one of vimium's issue)

I would like to autoCopy the selected text when I autoOpen it in another tab. Is this possible?

Do you mean "copy text and open/search it in another tab"? Currently you have to do them separately with Vimium C.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, I would like to do both of them in one keystroke

Why do you want it? It's possible to implement it, but I wonder a real use case.

When I read an article, I use autoOpen to google stuff (technical terms, etc) I find new. I want to keep track of what items were new to me. For this I use a clipboard manager which keeps track of what I copied. So if I want to add text to clipboard history and also search for it, I have to autoCopy it and also autoOpen it using two keystrokes. I want to do both of them using a single keystroke.

I agree this is a very rare use case and probably only useful to few people. I would be willing to make a local code change to a specific file/function in which autoOpen is implemented to also autoCopy it..

A convincing use case. Then I'll implement it in a next version, which will arrive in about one month.

Oh, thanks! Are you planning to create another action like autoCopyAndOpen which will do this?

It may be a new option, like map CC autoOpen copy=true.

Hello, you may try this: vimium_c-1.81.5-chrome-45bc0bc.zip, vimium_c-1.81.5-firefox-45bc0bc.zip

Install:

  • unzip a zip file into an empty folder
