When I press the control key, whatever is overlined is un-overlined.

This is OK when I want to copy / paste the URL input, but when I want to make more delicate operations the behaviour changes.

When I use the developper tools, and inspect some HTML content, if I double click on the name of a css class it selects it.

When I press ctrl + c, the ctrl unselects the class' name, and selects the whole tag, then the whole tag is put in my buffer.

I have to copy and paste via the right-click menu.

The same applies in the network tab, when reviewing the content of the response of a json in an AJAX request, I can't copy using ctrl + c ctrl + v.

I am using GNU/Linux, Fedora if it changes anything

Hi, think you have a bug. If not I do not know. Or the OS as you mention.

Will this do anything ?

Best is to use the right-click context menu to copy items to the clipboard.

Use the alternate keyboard shortcuts to see if those work better

  • Copy: Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Insert (Mac: Command+C)
  • Paste: Ctrl+V or Shift+Insert (Mac: Command+V)
  • Cut: Ctrl+X or Shift+Delete (Mac: Command+X)

Hey, the shit + delete command works is a nice workaround in my case (especially to copy in-response json text field)

I'm trying the add-ons to change some shortcut equally. thank you !
