TabCmdr's way

Copy the URL or title with TabCmdr

TabCmdr is a keyboard launcher that lives in your browser. From its search box you can copy the address or the title of the page you’re on, or the address of any other open tab.

Before you start: add TabCmdr from the Chrome Web Store. It has a 7-day free trial and needs no account.

Copy the address of the page you’re on

Press ⌘+K on a Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux, type copy url and press Enter on Copy Page URL. The palette closes, URL copied shows at the bottom of the page, and the full address is on your clipboard, including anything after ? or #.

Copy the page title

Type copy title and press Enter on Copy Page Title. Title copied shows at the bottom of the page. It copies the title you see on the tab, which makes a handy label when you paste a link into notes or a chat.

Copy the address of another tab

You don’t have to switch tabs first. Type a few letters of the tab’s title, then point at the highlighted row and click the link button. A Copy URL label shows when you point at it. The palette stays open and shows URL copied, so you can copy another one or press Esc to close it.
