Rules for copying text in ordinary plain, plain with all embedded URLs and html formats #100

iG8R · 2023-10-30T22:13:40Z

Hi.
Suppose a user selects the following text:

SearchJumper-Text-with-URLs-Video_2023-10-30_231457.webm

Is there a way to give an option to save it into the clipboard in the different following formats:
1. plain text with all embedded URLs under texts' highlights and images (my main concern)

    Just a personal work, maybe not suit you and won't provide support.

You have not even installed SearchJumper. So what are you expecting???

iG8R · 2023-10-31T01:07:11Z

Well, this is my pre-installation preparation. :)

iG8R · 2023-10-31T01:33:00Z

What a beautiful design and smooth operation of the script, wow.

hoothin · 2023-10-31T01:40:43Z

SearchJumper does not have the ability to extract the HTML of selected elements, which may be added in the future. I didn't have a good idea where to add it.

iG8R · 2023-10-31T01:50:42Z

Is SearchJumper able to intercept what is passed to the clipboard?

If yes, then, usually, when something is copied in the browser, it is transmitted in two versions at once - text/plain and text/html. Maybe then it will be possible to process text/html with SearchJumper?

PS. This feature would be way useful, as when we copy texts from web pages and paste them into applications or forms that don't support pasting texts with richtext/html formatting, we encounter a problem of missing a very important part of these texts - URLs, since usually the overwhelming majority of URLs on any web page are hidden under text descriptions and images.

hoothin · 2023-10-31T01:59:04Z

No, it can't.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard/read .
On firefox, only addon can do that, but not greasemonkey script.

iG8R · 2023-10-31T02:01:39Z

What a pity :(

hoothin · 2023-11-01T09:23:33Z

You can try %element now

copy inner text with url or img of select elements
c:%element{}
copy html of select elements
c:%element{}.prop(innerHTML)
copy plain text
c:%s

iG8R · 2023-11-01T10:07:24Z

Amazing!
Thank you very much!
Is it possible to customize how the copied text+URL will look, for example, currently it is copied like this

[📧Mail Me](mailto:rixixi@gmail.com)

Build with React.js
UI: [Material-UI](https://mui.com/)
Icons: [FontAwesome](https://fontawesome.com/)

E.i. with [ ] around text and ( ) around the URL.
Make it possible for it to look text (URL) or {text | URL}, or text [URL] etc.

iG8R · 2023-11-01T10:20:27Z

Some texts reveal bugs in their processing, but this in no way diminishes how cool it is!

hoothin · 2023-11-02T02:48:22Z

I've optimized a little, but this is just a experimenting and I think addon like Copy as Markdown will be better.
Anyway, you can try %element{}.prop(outerHTML).replace() for more possibilities.

iG8R · 2023-11-02T03:11:31Z

Thank you for advice.
Copy as Markdown - very good addon, but it only copies connected pair [link title](URL)or [page title](URL), not entire selected text with URLs.
As for the Markdown format - it is used mostly among among specialists (typesetting, design, IT), for common people, like parents or friends such a text format would be incomprehensible and confusing. That’s actually why I asked for the ability to customize the text-link design type, so that it would be convenient for everyone with whom you communicate and send information.
Of course, it is possible to use wildcard substitution manually, but it would be much more convenient for any user, even Vim fans, if there was an option to set formatting options initially.

hoothin · 2023-11-02T03:18:49Z

It's easy with %element.replace, like

copy text with url like txt(url) without image

c:%element{}.replace(/!\[.*?\]\(.*?\)/g,"").replace(/\[(.*?)\](\(.*?\))/g,"$1$2")

hoothin · 2023-11-02T03:21:09Z

copy text with url like {txt | url} without image

c:%element{}.replace(/!\[.*?\]\(.*?\)/g,"").replace(/\[(.*?)\]\((.*?)\)/g,"{ $1 | $2 }")

iG8R · 2023-11-02T03:34:29Z

Thanks a lot!

iG8R · 2023-11-02T05:15:19Z

Unfortunately, the new rules do not work as well as the first ones.
I know that the script still needs to be optimized, so the data below is just for information on how things are at the moment.

c:%element{}

hoothin · 2023-11-02T05:46:11Z

So?
I think it works as I expected. What's your expected behavior?

iG8R · 2023-11-02T06:22:30Z

hoothin · 2023-11-02T06:33:22Z

![] means image with no alt info
(https://github.com/hoothin/SearchJumper/blob/main/demo1.gif) means this is a link but without text (which was image there).
If you don't want to save links without text, add another replace like c:%element{}.replace(/!\[.*?\]$.*?$/g,"").replace(/\[ *\]$.*?$\s*/g,"").replace(/\[(.*?)\]$(.*?)$/g,"{ $1 | $2 }").

I don't know why you can't get all links but I get this result on my Chrome.

Is it possible for the formatting of the copied text to be preserved, i.e. if the original text contains line breaks, the copied text would also have the same line breaks?

Yes, you can try 1.6.30.21
But there are two things I have no idea how to work out for now.

If there are link breaks inside links. It must remove the breaks to combine text with link
Some text do not show as their actual order because of css style, for example, Stack Overflow is over Click on text

iG8R · 2023-11-03T01:24:43Z

Almost perfect!
Is it possible to make line breaks take into account <div> tags, so that the sequence of paragraphs is not disrupted in this way?

No, as I said, it's because css style. .TbwUpd.ojE3Fb has position: absolute so it's over LC20lb MBeuO DKV0Md.
I can't enumerate all the possibility of css unless I calculate every position of elements, that's unworkable.

iG8R · 2023-11-14T11:59:38Z

Is it possible to have an option where the desired text is not immediately highlighted after opening the searched page, but after bringing up the Find panel?

The thing is, in a search query, there are often quite a few words, and when the page opens and all these words are highlighted, it's overwhelming for the eyes. It would be convenient to first glance over the page, and if what we were looking for is not immediately found, then the highlighting of search words or phrases is called up for clarification.

hoothin · 2023-11-14T12:04:00Z

Just uncheck the Highlight the site opened from the search engine

iG8R · 2023-11-14T12:26:54Z

Oh!

Is it possible to add to this so that the last selected Word mode is remembered? Otherwise, every time you open a page and bring up the Find bar, there is always a search by phrase.
And when closing the Find bar using Ecs or by clicking on X, so that the text you are looking for is not erased from the Find bar?
And also, I don't know if it's a glitch or not, but right after loading the page, until you click on it, the search bar can't be bring up.

IMHO, the following scenario would be the most convenient, because the search almost always consists of at least 2-3 words:
opens the page you are looking for, nothing is highlighted on it, if you cannot find the information you need at first glance, the Find bar is called. Once the information is highlighted and localized, the Find bar is hidden along with the highlighting, but if the search words need to be highlighted again, the Find bar is brought up again.

From the very first day when I saw this beautiful script and started using SearchJumper, I recommend it to all my friends :)

It's not a bug, one more Esc will clear all cached words. But it seems to be unsuitable. I will change it later.

Hi.
Long time no see:)
I came with some issues, as always...

The dialog "Modify searching word" doesn't appear in the "single word" mode, but appear in the "phrase" one
Removing words from the Find bar doesn't remove marks on the leftmost vertical indicator bar
When using only 1 word in the Find bar:
- also the dialog "Modify searching word" doesn't appear in the "word" mode. There is only 1 word, in this case SearchJumper should not distinguish between modes for displaying this dialog box.
- how could it be possible to search for the whole word not as part of others?
The Esc key doesn't work. Can the Esc key be used to hide the search panel? It would be convenient, after finishing the search, when actively using the keyboard, not to switch to the mouse to click the close button, but to press the Esc key.

hoothin · 2023-11-19T02:21:22Z

Let me explain,

Word-mode is not an editable mode, as it will cut the ties between words in single input. so I disable double click to stop showing "Modify searching word" dialog. You need to click the edit icon to edit words in word-mode.
If you input words with space, it's not possible to search for the whole word until you toggle it. Just like /\bPlugins\b/, \b means edge of word.
I tested Esc but it words well, do you have more information?

hoothin · 2023-11-19T02:39:01Z

I've reproduced Esc bug under firefox, thank you, I'll fix it soon.

iG8R · 2023-11-19T02:58:36Z

Why not make this dialog available in both modes? For the simple editing use - the "Edit search text" button, and for gourmets, who need to use RegEx and more precise search - the "Modifying searching word" dialog.
I didn't input the word with space... How could I toggle it without using RegEx?
As for the Esc key - I'll show its behavior in more details in the screencast.

hoothin · 2023-11-19T03:10:43Z

Because that will cut the ties between words. Imagine that one people input "copy text", how can I link the words if people modify copy to /copy\d+/ as copy is just a part of copy text? /copy\d+/ text is illegal.
If you input single word, the fastest way to modify it is pressing backspace.

iG8R · 2023-11-19T04:05:35Z

First, regarding the search for a single word - what needs to be done to search for it as a whole, rather than as part of another word with minimal user intervention?
Regarding the search when there are 2 or more words. Is it possible to implement 2 search submodes in each mode?
When the user enters 2 or more words and performs a search in:

"phrase" mode.
- Submode 1: The phrase "copy text" will be searched as "copying text", "precopy texts", etc. That is, the main requirement is for the roots "copy" and "text" to be present in words with only spaces (or a non-word class characters?) in between.
- Submode 2: The search will be conducted for the phrase as a whole, meaning "copy text" in the search query will only correspond to "copy text" in the text.
- When the "Modifying searching word" dialog box is invoked in this mode, it is up to the user to decide whether they want to use RegEx or not and how they want to change the search phrase.
"word" mode. Similar submodes as in "phrase", i.e. by the root of the word and the exact match.

hoothin · 2023-11-19T05:25:21Z

I think it's easy to Input /\bcopy\b/ instead of copy when search.
If you want to search "copying text", "precopy texts", /\w*copy\w*\s\w*text\w*/i will work.
By the way, it already search by whole word after installed SearchJumper levenshtein addon, there are some bugs but it's fixed now.

iG8R · 2023-11-19T13:32:41Z

Thanks a lot for mending the issues.
Regarding manual distinction between two submodes - searching for the desired word in its whole form (/\bcopy\b/) or as a root of other words (copy).
IMHO, 99,(9)% of those who use or will use SearchJummper, regex is like a second foreign language for them. And even those who occasionally use regex, do not always remember all the commands, so they have to dig into its documentation again.
Again IMHO, the purpose of computer programs is to facilitate routine processes when performing certain tasks. So why not transfer the function of composing the necessary request for these 2 submodes to the broad and powerful shoulders of SearchJummper? Just to have an option, like in any Find window, where you can check whether to search for the word as a whole or as the root of the words present in the text.
For example, here's what the Find windows look like in Notepad++ or Total Commander:

hoothin · 2023-11-20T03:10:10Z

Indeed, that's true. However, I personally find the multitude of options quite bothersome. For me, using a single regular expression to solve tasks is the simplest approach.

But I can try adding an option for a toggle switch addon to achieve a similar effect. Once I have it ready, I will let you know.

hoothin · 2023-11-20T12:12:02Z

It's done, you can toggle addon by switch the checkbox.

Now, any search mode can be achieved using an addon. If you need any other search modes, please list the specific requirements for the desired mode, and I can help write an addon to fulfill those requirements.

iG8R · 2023-11-20T14:57:19Z

Thank you so much!
Unfortunately, I encountered some bugs.

PS. Is it possible to make this checkbox dialog in the color theme corresponding to the Find bar, i.e. in black?

hoothin · 2023-11-20T15:45:10Z

Have you updated addon?

iG8R · 2023-11-20T16:02:13Z

Yes.

iG8R · 2023-11-20T18:35:06Z

I'm rather confused how the "After enabling, select some text and long press the right mouse to bring up the toolbar" function works.
Also, if you disable it, the ability to configure tiles and their appearance when selecting text disappears.

hoothin · 2023-11-21T00:09:17Z

The bug of addon is fixed.
Function key is prepared for right mouse, without function key, you need to long press right mouse. I'll change the description later.

iG8R · 2023-11-21T01:06:41Z

SearchJumper somehow also reacts to a long press of the middle mouse button.

SearchJumper-MButton-Video_2023-11-21_03-00-05.webm

hoothin · 2023-11-21T02:24:16Z

Yes, cause some user use right mouse for Mouse Gestures software.

iG8R · 2023-11-21T02:43:51Z

Yes, I know that many Mouse Gestures software use the right mouse button, but what about the middle one? In my case, it bound to a long click to open a program window that works with the clipboard.

hoothin · 2023-11-21T03:14:21Z

So you want to disable middle mouse in SearchJumper while long press?

iG8R · 2023-11-21T03:17:56Z

Well, not immediately block it, maybe someone uses it, maybe just add settings for the middle mouse button?
It just so happens now that the left mouse button seems to be configured, but it turns out that this setting also affects the middle button.
