About this extension
Make text selection and copy faster, smarter, and easier.

✨ One-Click Select & Copy lets you highlight or copy text instantly with your own shortcut keys. Instead of tricky double/triple clicks, just hold your chosen keys and left-click.

Features:
🔹 Word / Sentence / Paragraph selection
🔹 Customizable shortcuts
🔹 Choose between Select only or Select & Copy
🔹 Works with English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and SE Asian text
🔹 Smart detection for emails, URLs, numbers, dates, and more

Why use it?
No more awkward double-clicks or missed highlights. Perfect for students, writers, researchers, translators, and anyone who works with text every day.
💡 Plus, it helps save the health of your fingers and extends the lifespan of your mouse’s click switches by reducing repeated double/triple clicks.

How it works:
1. Set your shortcuts in the Options page (Word, Sentence/Line, Paragraph).
2. On any normal web page, hold your keys and left-click the text.
3. The text is instantly selected or copied — depending on the action you choose.

Limitations:
🚫 Does not work on some text inside iframes, or in non-standard editors (e.g. Google Docs, Office 365, Figma).
⚠️ Sentence/Line detection may be less accurate with abbreviations (e.g., Dr., e.g.), dates (Sept. 15, 2025), decimals (3.14), or sentences with mixed formatting.
