copy current tab url with 'yy'

[arjenzhou]

Thanks for this great extension!

It is a convenient way to copy current tab's url into clipboard with hotkey 'yy', will this be supported?

I would love this, too. Use it constantly when using Vimium on Chrome.

Alternatively you can use some text expansion program, I use Typinator and make this snippet:

{/AppleScript
tell application "Safari" to return URL of front document
}

The applescript code: tell application "Safari" to return URL of front document will return the URL of the currently open Safari tab. I have it bound to :s to expand. This way there is never even a need for yy to copy a URL.

While less fancy, another solution that doesn't require any external programs is to use ⌘ + L to jump to the URL bar and then ⌘ + C to copy the link. Yes, it takes more keyboard shortcuts, but it is baked into Safari by default and also works on other platforms/browsers (e.g. ⌃ + L then ⌃ + C on Windows in Chrome to achieve the same result).

Something else I really like in vimum is yf, which is kind of similar, but instead of copying the current tab url it shows the links and you can copy a target url. Maybe it should be classified as a different feature request though.
