<strong>This addon won't be maintained further.</strong> I'm shelving this project due to lack of interest/utility and too much burden. The addon will remain available for download as long as the store allows, and the source on <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/2780548467fc184ce1b2f824623356312cddc461e34e24d1978125efdc5d685a/https%3A//gitlab.com/Marnes-group/webextensions" rel="nofollow">gitlab</a> will also remain available to fork. <strong>I do have a <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/1ca1d4ffc63f1ff903d19e0b7d28b391044992d3976f145797bb5220f111ee46/https%3A//greasyfork.org/en/users/18593-marnes" rel="nofollow">greasyfork account</a> you can check out, and you can get new versions of CSL, DID, and IBCP there!</strong> Available <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/a1064062b2f919c761b57f89df5739d5fcfa8ad04742e5b6d81ce633b06d3c3f/https%3A//chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bkegjcmidjgnmjbeninfbhoaelblpgic" rel="nofollow">for Chrome</a> too. <strong>Functionality</strong> When you double-click on a piece of plain text, Plain Text Linker tries to determine if what you clicked could be a URL and tries to open it. <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/d78a8e1f8ce3c4dce8c37e9ba87ca2f2275beb82f0c1070640d88e0b4fb0dca6/https%3A//mathiasbynens.be/demo/url-regex" rel="nofollow">Try it</a>! <strong>Usage notes</strong> <ul><li>there's an option to require shift-doubleclick for a link to be opened, so you can still doubleclick URLs without anything happening </li><li>you can choose if links should open in the foreground or background by default, and holding the Ctrl key will invert this behavior</li></ul> The Options screen will automatically open after add-on updates if they force a change to any of your settings. <strong>Please rate/review/donate! :)</strong> A lot of time and work goes into creating my addons, and making changes or troubleshooting issues for users. <strong>Problem, bug, broken, question, request?</strong> Per Mozilla policy, only an evaluation of an addon's entire function with reasonable expectations is a proper review. Vague complaints or 1-star ratings for single reasons are considered spam, as are false claims about the addon not working at all. For more detailed discussions, use the linked support site or email.
