GM_setClipboard (and other GM functions) gives an error in a Firefox but not Chrome/Tampermonkey?
Greasemonkey requires explicit @grant
statements to use GM_
functions. Whereas Tampermonkey still does some auto detection (a potential security hole).
So:
You need to specify
// @grant GM_setClipboard
in your metadata block.However, this switches the sandbox back on (a good thing), so you also need to make sure you've
@require
d jQuery.
This script will work in both Greasemonkey and Tampermonkey:
// ==UserScript==
// @name _YOUR_SCRIPT_NAME
// @match http://YOUR_SERVER.COM/YOUR_PATH/*
// @require http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js
// @grant GM.setClipboard
// ==/UserScript==
document.addEventListener ( "keydown", function (i) {
var selectLink = $('a').eq (8); // The link by index
var targetLink = selectLink.text ().trim (); // The link text
if (i.keyCode === 106 && i.shiftKey) // Shift+Num*
{
GM.setClipboard (targetLink); // Copy to clipboard
}
} );
