Hi there,
Could I tweak the opera windows to show URLs in unicode(UTF-8) forms?
Thanks a lot.

What do you mean exactly?
I would say that Unicode (UTF8) is just character encoding schema and everything visual does not depend on specific format (unless rendered incorrectly of course).

Example URLs?

These ones show fine in Opera's address field.

That's right.

I wanna copy these URLs like above from Opera browser's address bar and paste into notepad.

And these URLs will show in the unicode(UTF-8) forms like Google Chrome browser does.

Below is my Opera's version info

Version：65.0.3467.78

Update Channel：Stable

OS：Windows 10 64-bit

Thanks a lot.!

Here, in either notepad (win 10) or notepad++ paste works as intended - it doesn't urlencode (these %numbers are urlencoded utf8 character) copied url-s.
Have you set displaying of full url-s on? (In O settings, search 'full', toggle 'Show full URL in combined search and address bar'.)

@stanly1 I see what you're saying. Opera copies the raw text from the address field to the clipboard while Chrome copies the URL with the non-ascii parts UTF-8-percent-encoded, and you like Chrome's way better.

I see Opera is inconsistent with other Chromium-based browsers and inconsistent with Firefox. I don't know if Opera's way is intentional though. Will see if I can find out. And, I'll see if I can find a workaround for you.

For now, install https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/copy-page-url/dobnehimlklapeengfdlhdkpijhjdkag in Opera. Then, you can just right-click the page and choose "Copy page URL" instead of copying from the address field. Then, you'll get a URI like you want instead of an IRI.
