How to copy a URL with its title in markdown format?

In Firefox 56, how can I quickly copy a URL in the markdown format?

[title](url)

In theory, VimFx should work, but it doesn't, so I either want to find what's wrong or another method to do this.

Solution 1:

How can I copy a URL in markdown format [title](url)?

You can use the Copy as Markdown extension.

Copy as Markdown is a browser extension helps you copy the following things as Markdown to your system clipboard:

• ☑️ Current Tab as Link
• ☑️ A Link in the Page
• ☑️ An Image in the Page
• ☑️ An Image that is wrapped with a Link
• ☑️ All Tabs as a List of Links
• ☑️ Highlighted Tabs as a List of Links

Review:

• A very useful extension, particularly for adding links to questions and answers on SE. I wish I'd found it a couple of years ago.
• The Firefox extension works on FF57+.
• There is a Chrome extension as well (I haven't tried it).

Solution 2:

You can save the following script as bookmark

javascript:(function(){%20window.prompt("Press%20Ctrl+C%20then%20Enter%20to%20close%20the%20dialog",'['%20+%20document.title%20+%20']('%20+%20document.location.href%20+%20')');%20})();

then assign a keyword to it (like c). Now every time you want to copy just select the address bar, press c and Enter. This doesn't need any add-on

You can also open the console with F12 then run this

window.prompt("Press Ctrl+C then Enter to close the dialog", '[' + document.title + '](' + document.location.href + ')');
