Copy link ? [solved]
Quite a regular

See User information
I really miss a "Copy URL to clipboard" feature in OWB.

Some links to a file cannot be entered (safely) but there is no way to copy the link unless I enter it. Some links actually doesn't even appear in the address field even if entered and thus cannot ever be copied! A bit annoying.

Copy URLs is not only useful because of the lack of download, but also if I like to send a link to a friend over chat or mail but without entering the link (because it may be big and I don't want to loose my current side or whatever).

Copy URLs is also very useful if I want to open a link in a new tab (or another browser) since there is no "Open link in new tab" feature either.

Any ideas on this?

Are you using OWB v3.7?
If so, place cursor over a link, and press the middle mouse button. (On my HiPoint 3D optical mouse this is the mouse wheel.)
Pressing that gives, gives a context menu, with the bottom item being, copy url to clipboard.
In fact Clipdown uses this function to download files in OWB.

There is no "Open link in new tab" feature?

Did you activate the tabs in OWB?
Write "TABS=enabled" in the tooltypes of the OWB icon.
Then press the middle mouse button on a link and you will get "Open LInk in New Tab".

Both functions are already implemented in OWB 3.7. Just position the pointer over the link in question and open the context menu by holding down the right or middle mouse button (depending on if you have CONTEXTMENURMB tooltype enabled or not).

The MIDDLE mouse button, ok. Thanks!
Unexpected (unstandardized) for a context menu though, but now that you mentioned it I do think I've heard about it... :)
