Yank with `yc` or `yy` does not yank

[0x4a61636f62]

Yanking with yc or yy does not yank the line or selected cells; instead, a pop-up is showing that reads "Link copied":

After pasting, I get a link:

I have tested and reproduced it on Brave Browser and Google Chrome.

Thank you, @philc, for the great extensions. I noticed you are the author of Vimium, which I frequently use, too.

I also encountered this problem in Chrome. I disabled all other extensions and it happens with only SheetKeys active. I think this started happening within the last week or two. I just now updated to the latest chrome version available to me which is Version 127.0.6533.100 (Official Build) (x86_64) on 2024-08-06 and it is still happening.

Also just noticed (2024-09-13) that this is a dupe of issue #56

Yank not working annoyed me too, so I forked the repo and fixed it:

You can just clone my fork and this article describes how to install Chrome extensions from your PC (in step 6):

but it works only when you have this Chrome extension installed too:

here's why:

No idea how to make this work for non-Chrome browsers.

The issue seems to be still persisting, i hope it's going to be fixed soon or it's actually not usable. Did you made a pull request?

I created a pull request to update the README for the yy and yc shortcuts. I tested all other shortcuts and they still work. It's a shame these two are broken, but this is still the most useful shortcuts tool for google sheets.
