# Clipper 
Clipper is a web browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that allows copying page
information such as title and URL to the clipboard. The contents can be customized
via templates.
## Install
Download the .xpi (for Firefox) or .zip (for Chrome) file from the
[releases page](https://github.com/imiric/org-clipper/releases) and manually add the
extension via your browser's settings.
> [!NOTE]
> These files aren't signed, and the author has no intention of distributing the
> extension via the Chrome or Firefox stores. If you distrust these packages,
> see below for manual build instructions.
On Chrome, drag and drop the .zip file on the extensions page.
On Firefox, you will need to set `xpinstall.signatures.required` to `false` on the
`about:config` page. Then click on the cog wheel on the "Manage Your Extensions"
page, and "Install Add-on From File...".
Alternatively, if you prefer to build the packages yourself, clone the Git
repository, install [Just](https://just.systems/man/en/). and run `just build`.
Then manually add the packages built in the `dist` directory to your browser.
In Chrome, you could also load the extension directory without building the extension
via the "Load unpacked" option. This is useful during development.
## Usage
Click on the extension icon in the toolbar or use the Alt+c keyboard shortcut to copy
information about the page in the current tab using the default template.
Clipper comes with three templates out-of-the-box:
- Markdown:
```md
### [$TITLE]($URL)
```
- Org Mode:
```org
*** $TITLE
:PROPERTIES:
:url: $URL
:END:
```
- Plain (default):
```
Title: $TITLE
URL: $URL
```
On the extension options page you can modify, add or delete templates:
You can change the default template by selecting it and pressing "Save". This can
also be changed via the context menu in the toolbar:
You can use variables `$TITLE` and `$URL` in templates to insert the page title and
URL respectively.
