I have been using few awesome excellent and extremely useful extentions like youtube for Tweaks, autocontrol, Extension manager, Bypass Paywall clean, Tapermonkey, ublock and now I am happy to say the latest one 'Selecton' has found its deserved premium place into the league. This is the super extention which has made surfing super easy and works seamlessly. I thank the developer for providing this, It's a must have if you seek information on google regularly. Although if I may suggest few ... Show more

Thank you very much for such a sincere review! It is a great pleasure for me that you enjoy Selecton so much. I'm sorry to hear that drag handles don't work as expected for you. They are supposed to extend current selection by one word at a time, in the direction opposite to the closest selection end... Maybe the website you were trying to use them on have some non-standard HTML layout? I guess there is not much I could do about how exactly they select words, because the logic for this behavior is partially implemented in the browser itself. Anyway, there is an option in extension settings to disable drag handles altogether, which I advise to do if it doesn't work well for you. Thanks for using Selecton! ✌️🚀

Nice extension, well done!!! I have a question about the settings: "Delay before revealing panels on mouseover (ms)" Any value I put there does not work, the panel will be displayed immediately.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! ⭐️ This option applies to all hover buttons, except the "More" button (the one on the right side of the panel, which reveals other tooltip buttons on hover). When I created this button, for some reason it made sense to me that it should always respond immediately and reveal other buttons. Maybe this behavior is the reason you got an impression of "Delay" option not working?

The text insertion point is displayed when clicking anywhere on the web page, how do I disable it?

Max TsybaDeveloperAug 3, 2024

I'm sorry to hear that this function is not working for you correctly. It is supposed to show "Paste" button only when you click over a text field. You can completely disable this functionality in Selecton extension settings, under "Text fields" category.
