DragToGo+

This is a re-work to my previous firefox addon DragToGo. Compare to DragToGo, this one provides more options to different mouse gestures so that it resembles more of Easy DragToGo++ in older firefox versions. This addon uses better ways to achieve more functions and makes it easier to add new features.

Screenshots

• Options for text

• Optinos for links

• Options for images

Supported Features:

• For Text:

  • Search for the text using a search engine
  • Copy the text to clipboard
  • Save the text to a text file
  • Find the text in the same page (experimental)

• For Links:

  • Open the link
  • Save the link
  • Bookmark the link

• For Images:

  • Open the image
  • Save the image
  • Open the link if the image is enclosed by an <a></a> element which points to a different url from the image url. If not, it will fallback to open the image.

Know issues:

1. svg images in <svg> tag is not supported.
2. If the dragged element includes not only an image but also a lot of text (even if the text is hidden), the addon will ignore the image.
3. Find in page only search forward and sometimes buggy.
