Description Vinzenz Vietzke [TUXEDO] 2019-07-19 10:16:21 UTC

Most of the time I'm listening to web streams. If I like a track currently played I take note of it to download it somewhere later.

Currently I have to pin the Media Player plasmoid, open an editor and type artist and track out manually. Therefore it would be nice to have a way to just copy the plasmoid's content. Something like middle click, right click plus context menu or similar.

Maybe we should just make the text selectable.

Comment 2 Vinzenz Vietzke [TUXEDO] 2019-07-25 09:00:48 UTC

Yes, that would be fine - at least for me. But I guess it could have the unwanted side effect of accidentally selected and therefore "clipboarded" text.

We could copy `Title - Artist` to the clipboard when Ctrl+C is pressed on the open widget, and/or when the expanded widget's text is clicked, with maybe an inlineMessage to indicate this was done.
