Is there a keyboard shortcut to copy the URL of the page you're on?

Is there a keyboard shortcut to copy the URL of the page you're on? - Lemmy.world

I just went through a long list of keyboard shortcuts for Firefox. One that I didn’t see that I would find useful is to press something like ⇧ Shift + ⌘ + C to copy the URL and then paste it into an email or message to send to someone. Does something like this exist?

I don’t know a single shortcut, but does Ctrl-L Ctrl-C do what you want?

Besides what others have said with Ctrl+L then Ctrl+C, you could use an extension for custom shortcuts like this:

github.com/crittermike/shortkeys

www.shortkeys.app

And I checked and their is an option that you can set to copy url of the page you are on.

Hope it helps.

Copy Tabs – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Download Copy Tabs for Firefox. Copy tabs as hyperlinks or as plaintext URLs, similar to MS Edge, but actually even better since this addons supports copying mutliple tabs at the same time.

This looks quite interesting

I believe ctrl L moves the focus to the address bar and then you can just ctrl c to copy

Install Vimium C browser extension and then you press just ‘y’-key twice. It means yank in vim.

I wish there was browser extension that let me use vim keyboard binding inside of text boxes like this one.

You can configure Qutebrowser for that. In Qutebrowser the insert mode isn’t that intuitive as in bloated browsers, but you get used to it.

My Qutebrowser uses Vim keys for scrolling and browsing, but in insert mode I use Emacs keybinds. Best of both worlds (for me).
