Copying the URL from the URL bar should be plain text

TYVM, @vacord - That does work.
If it's a really long url, do u know of any quick way or keystroke to get to the end in the address bar? -

@illostraight Yes, on a mac, just get your cursor in the URL bar then press command+(right arrow) and it should go to the end.

yes, I'm having the same issue.
I hope they get this fixed.
When I copy and paste the URL, I don't get the URL but a hyperlink instead.
Very annoying!
It started this way since the last update.
Please, Opera fix this!

Hi everyone, I am glad I am not the only one who has faced problems with this. Dear Opera, please, allow users to enable and disable this feature. Thanks.

Hi everybody,
I surf with Opera for Mac (version : 69.0.3686.77)
How to modify the paste behavior on Opera ? I don't want to paste a title but an URL ?
Example : when I copy this subforum (https://forums.opera.com/category/12/opera-for-mac), I would like to paste the URL and not its title (Opera for Mac | Opera forums).
Thanks.

The "Paste and Match Style" action (keyboard shortcut: cmd-option-shift-V) will generally paste the unformatted plain text URL in the destination app.

Why is this still an issue?
I have the same problem and it makes me reconsider my webbrowser-choice.
Is there any fix for that? -
znamor last edited bySame issue here and I have Version:70.0.3728.119 of Opera and System:Mac OS X 10.14.6 64-bit (Mojave on MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017)) The keyboard shortcut: "cmd-option-shift-V" does work, but thats not a standard behavior people are used to for a URL copy/paste operation. Opera DEV team - kindly enable this link header VS plain text copying option as a feature please?
Many thanks in advance! -

I'm so glad I found this thread with others not loving this "feature." Would love to see a enable/disable option ASAP! Thank you for others who mentioned the paste without formatting keyboard commands, that'll work for now at least. Hope this get's addressed soon!

stracker-phil last edited byOSX has a keyboard shortcut to paste text in plain-text:
⌘+⌥+V(CMD + Option + V)With this keyboard shortcut, the address is always pasted as an URL instead of a rich-text link element.

I may have found a work around for pasting into iMessage. Right click in iMessage (where you intend to paste), scroll to substitutions , mark Smart Links with a check mark.

Command-option-shift-V does work, but it took a lot for me to find this thread and suss that out.
I don't know any other app that does this -- no browser that I know of copies the formatted URL and shows only the title. Since it's apparently a "feature" in Opera, it should be something we can turn off via a preference. Might seem like a small thing, but it's led to a lot of hair pulling, especially when I'm pasting into iMessage. I am seriously considering switching to Firefox over this.

I'm done working around this. (I've been clicking in the URL, which highlights it, clicking again to get a cursor, moving to the end and adding a space, and then copying that. Which pastes as text but not as a link, at least in Apple Notes, so it's still a problem.)
Going back to Firefox for my work browser. -

Instead of pasting with command-v, use shift-command-option-v.That works for me -- no formatted text, just the url.
