Features
Contextual Copy (single command)
- The core command Easy Copy: Contextual Copy detects what's at the cursor and acts accordingly — no need to think about which command to use.
- Inline code — cursor inside
`code` → copies the code text without the backticks. - Formatted text — cursor in
**bold**, *italic*, or ==highlighted== → copies the text without the markup. - Heading line — cursor on a heading → copies an internal link to that heading as
[[Note#Heading|Heading]] (display text is the heading itself, so the link renders shorter visually). - Block link — cursor in a paragraph that already has a block ID → copies
[[Note#^blockid|summary]]. - Auto block ID (optional, enable in settings) — if the paragraph has no block ID, the plugin generates one and copies the link with a content summary as display text.
Settings
- Link format — wikilink (
[[Note#Heading|display]]) or Markdown ([display](Note#Heading)). - Custom copy targets — toggle which element types (bold, italic, etc.) are included.
- Show notifications — optional toast when content is copied.
- Right-click menu — can add Contextual Copy to the editor context menu.
Installation
- Search Easy Copy in Settings → Community plugins → Browse.
- No default hotkey — assign one in Settings → Hotkeys. The README suggests
Ctrl+Alt+C (⌘⌥C on macOS) but that combo may not be registerable in the Obsidian hotkeys UI; ⌥⇧C is a working alternative.
