had been using this extension for quite some time and got used to it .. and i use clipboard history extension as well.. both these recently crashed.. i thot it was a memory issue.. only recently i noticed that chrome says "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." Chrome please reconsider your decision

Thank you! This works perfectly for me. * The fact that it is customize-able is a big plus * Linux (what I use) applications usually copy text when highlighted. This nudges Linux chrome to behave as it should * Saves needless SHIFT-DELETE or CTRL-C actions, saving keyboard life (500 copies is 500 click-drags, not 500 clicks and 1000 keys) cuts workload in half. * May say it doesn't work on recent versions of chrome, but it does. They are planning on taking away the ability to do this, we should all boycott that. * Prevents me from needing to write a script to do this that may not get along with other programs So far, no cons, just pros. You have to edit the setup and reload your tabs before you start using it. This is the proper way IMO since working right off the bat would probably be more exploitable. Keep using! I was surprised how cleanly it works, no delays or anything and very easy to use.
