<p><a href="https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/fast-copier" target="_blank">Fast Copier</a> is an Obsidian plugin that adds a copy button next to formatted text — inline code, bold, italic, highlights, headings, tags, links, and more — in both Editing and Reading modes. Click the button to copy the content instantly, no external dependencies.</p>

Features

• Copy button on formatted text — inline code, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, highlight, headings, tags, internal links, and external links
• Both modes — works in Editing (Source) mode and Reading (Live Preview / Preview) mode with a single shared toggle list
• Unified content-type settings — one checkbox list to enable/disable each content type; no need to edit patterns or CSS selectors
• Command-controlled visibility — toggle copy buttons on/off with the Toggle show/hide copy button command
• Custom icon — choose the copy button icon
• Copy notification — optional notice after copying
• Zero dependencies — no external libraries at runtime, only Obsidian APIs
• Multi-language UI — English, 中文, Русский support

Usage

1. Install and enable the plugin
2. In any note, a copy button appears to the right of supported content (e.g. inline code, bold, ==highlight==, # Heading, #tag, [[link]])
3. Click the button to copy the content; the copied text matches the content type (e.g. tags keep the # prefix)
4. Use the Toggle show/hide copy button command to show or hide all copy buttons at any time

Customize which content types show a button via Settings → Fast Copier.

Settings

Tip: Showing or hiding the copy buttons is controlled by the Toggle show/hide copy button command, not by a setting.

Requirements: Obsidian 1.13.0 or later.
