Type " , " (with spaces) for spreadsheet-ready output. • Combine with Notion or Obsidian. Pick "Bullet List" or "Numbered List" to paste ready-to-format outlines directly into your knowledge base. • Keep Selection After Copy is perfect when you're building a growing list — copy your current set, add three more, copy again with everything included. • Change the highlight color to something high-contrast for accessibility, or something subtle for extended reading sessions. • CTRL+SHIFT+M is muscle memory — bind it to your workflow and toggle instantly without hunting for the toolbar icon. • Undo one thing at a time. CTRL+Z removes just the last segment, not everything. Great for correcting a single wrong pick. • Individual removal — left-click a highlight to remove just that piece without touching your other selections. • For long research sessions, hide the floating badge (via the popup toggle) and rely on the toolbar counter for a distraction-free view. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔒 PRIVACY & SECURITY Your privacy isn't a feature — it's the foundation of this extension: ❌ No accounts, no sign-ups, no logins. Install and use — that's it. ❌ No data collection. Selected text is never sent to any server. No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking pixels. ❌ No cookies. The extension does not read, write, or transmit cookies. ❌ No advertising. No ads inside the popup or on the page. ✅ All processing is local. Text selection, highlighting, formatting, and clipboard writing happen entirely inside your browser tab. ✅ Settings are stored locally using Chrome's built-in storage — never synced to third-party servers. ✅ Transparent behavior. Every action the extension takes is triggered by you. The only optional external interaction: if you choose to uninstall, Chrome may open a short optional feedback form so we can improve the product. You can close it without answering. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔐 PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED We use the minimum permissions required to make the extension work.

A: Enable the Multi-Text Selector extension, then hold the CTRL key and highlight each text segment you want. Once you have selected everything, press CTRL+C to copy them all to your clipboard as one combined string using your chosen separator. Q: Can I undo a selection if I highlight the wrong text? A: Yes — you have three ways to undo. Press CTRL+Z to remove your most recent highlight, left-click any highlighted text on the page to remove just that specific segment, or use the "Clear All Selections" button in the popup to remove every highlight at once. Q: Can I change the highlight color? A: Yes. Open the extension popup and click the color picker next to "Highlight Color" — pick any color you like. The extension automatically computes a readable text color (black or white) based on your chosen background for optimal contrast. Q: Do I always have to hold the CTRL key to select text? A: No. Turn on the "Lock Selection" toggle in the popup and the extension will automatically capture any text you highlight without CTRL. This is especially useful for touchpad users or extended selection sessions. Q: Can I define my own separator? A: Yes. Choose the "Custom" separator option in the popup, then type your own separator string (up to 20 characters) — semicolons, pipes, arrows, tab characters, or full phrases like " → " all work. Q: How do I keep my highlights after copying? A: Enable the "Keep Selection After Copy" toggle in the popup. Your highlights stay visible after CTRL+C so you can extend, refine, or re-copy without redoing the work. Q: Is there a keyboard shortcut to toggle the extension? A: Yes. Press CTRL+SHIFT+M (Cmd+Shift+M on Mac) from any webpage to instantly enable or disable the extension. You can customize this shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. Q: Can I preview what will be copied before I paste? A: Yes. Hover over the floating badge in the bottom corner of the page and you'll see the exact combined text — including your chosen separator — before you paste anywhere. Q: How can I see how many segments I've selected? A: In two places. The floating badge on the webpage shows a live count, and the Chrome toolbar icon also displays the count as a small badge on the icon itself. Q: Is the Multi-Text Selector extension free? A: Yes, 100% free forever. There are no premium tiers, subscriptions, hidden charges, ads, or upsells. Visit FreeAIToolsBox.com for more free productivity tools.
