Hi all,

Loving wefwef and am even using it as my desktop Lemmy UI but there is one niggle.

I often want to select and copy text in a comment (usually to search for it) but this doesn’t work. Single clicking hides the comment while click and drag engages the upvote/downvote etc options.

Could we get an option to allow text selection (eg. ctrl-click)?

Thanks,

giddy

    Alt+left click and drag will highlight desired text.

    You will still have to ctrl+c.

    This works for any link or post style format, and particularly useful to copy a URL without opening it by default.

      Sorry not working for me. Still drags the post to the side to expose the actions. Tested on Chrome in Win 11

        It worked on Lemmy site. You can use it there in the meantime. I have wefwef on mobile but not desktop so can’t vouch but seems odd it wouldn’t also work there. I’ll check it out

        Click on the three dots and there is an option to Select Text. That will copy content of the text, but this may or may work for the Title of the post.
