Chrome inspector - remote debugger - Clipboard is

Question

I am using the remote debugger inspector by visiting for example:

http://localhost:9222/devtools/inspector.html?ws=localhost:9222/devtools/page/33767d5c-6abf-4c79-b8e7-d3b0c251fcaa

The inspector works other than not being able to copy within the element, for copying xpath/sizzle selectors for instance which is really important.

But on copy I am getting:

Clipboard is not enabled in hosted mode. Please inspect using chrome://inspect

I am remote debugging using an "external" inspector in google-chrome on linux.

I get the same error on chromium-browser as well.

What do I need to do to enable clipboard in Google Chrome?

Answer 1

For those coming to this question, this annoyed me too so I have recently added support for copy operations in devtools in hosted mode, and, as the PR has been merged, it should just work in the latest version from Github.
