Adds a "Copy" button to each tweet and article that copies the content along with its URL and shows a check mark animation upon success, preserving link URLs and styling.

Twitter Tweet & Article Copy

A Tampermonkey/Violentmonkey userscript that adds a "Copy" button to each tweet and article on X (formerly Twitter). It allows you to seamlessly copy the tweet or article text, resolve shortened t.co links to their original destinations, and copy the content along with its URL. It displays a clean check mark animation upon a successful copy.

🔥 Key Differences from the Original Repository

This repository (fr0stb1rd/tampermonkey-tweet-copy) is an extended and improved version of the original script by tizee.

New Features & Enhancements:

t.co Link Resolution: Automatically resolves Twitter's shortened t.co links asynchronously (handling 301/302 and Meta Refresh redirects) to reveal the actual URLs before copying them to your clipboard.

X Articles Support: Added full support for copying X Articles (long-form content). It correctly extracts the article's title, body, and URL while preserving the structure.

Rich Clipboard Formatting: Copies the text in both raw plain text (wrapped in markdown code blocks) and rich HTML formats to preserve structural clarity when pasting.

Improved Link Handling: Non-link elements like @mentions and #hashtags are visually preserved without forcefully converting them into raw URLs.

Features

Adds a "Copy" button to every tweet and article.

Asynchronously resolves t.co short links to their original URLs.

Copies both raw text (Markdown formatted) and HTML directly to the clipboard.

Installation

1. Install a userscript manager like Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey.

2. Click the following link to install the script: Install X Tweet Copy.

Usage

1. Navigate to any tweet or article on X (https://x.com/).

2. Click the "Copy" button (the copy icon) next to the tweet or article action buttons.

3. The script will briefly display an hourglass (⏳) while resolving t.co links.

The script relies on GM_addStyle to inject CSS for the copy button and check mark animation. You can easily tweak these styles by editing the CSS template located at the beginning of the script.
