I’m having this issue as well.

Same issue since last update.
Other conditions: I am using vertical tabs (started recently)

community.brave.com works well.
gmail → it uses copy clean link, same for excalidraw.

6

I am also having this issue. The only thing that rectifies it is restarting my laptop but it eventually reverts to happening again

It appears in the latest Brave release they added a default shortcut behavior to copy the clean link: https://brave.com/latest/

  • Added a keyboard shortcut for “Copy clean link”. (#26761)

This is the most useless “upgrade” I’ve seen. When I highlight something on the page, I want to copy that with Cmd + C. When I want the URL, or clearn URL, I’ll push CMD + L, then CMD + C. And to not have the availability to put Cmd + C back to normal copy? Why?

This is unbearable and after 2 years of using Brave browser, I’m ready to switch to Chrome. Please fix this ASAP

Same with Dani, I want to the CMD+C back to normal copying also, not a clean link.
It is the important shortcut key for me since we are not able to configure the keymap in Brave

yeah, seems some users want it this way. I hope they give us the option of choosing which shortcuts does what as this doesn’t work for everybody.

I’m using a Mac and having the same problem. It’s very frustrating!

I had to switch to Edge for today to get around this issue. I’d like to switch back, not having a regular copy and paste feature that I can use without thinking is a dealbreaker for me.

Please change it so we can use CMD + C for its usual “copy and paste” function! Or at least let us define a keymap, so each user can decide to use CMD + C as “copy and paste” if needed.

Feature flag is coming in https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/29177

Changing the default behavior felt intrusive, I kept thinking my keyboard was going bad.

I’ve found a solution. Open brave://flags/, then search and disbale option Override default copy hotkey with copy clean link.

PS. I don’t understand why Brave change this behavior, it’s really annoying and change completely our workflow!!!
