Textify
Have you ever wanted to copy some text from a dialog box which doesn’t provide such functionality?
Textify was created to solve this problem: you can point your mouse over the text, click on the mouse shortcut (Shift + Middle click by default), and get a selectable view of the text.

Thanks for making this amazing tool!
Is it possible to make it activate automatically by a double click on a dialog box, or ctrl c, instead of memorizing another key combo? Thanks in advance.
You’re welcome. Currently there’s no such option and it’s not planned.
Beware if you load a web page that has a lot of structured text, textify may grind your browser (and your whole OS) to a stuttering halt.
I thought it was Chrome’s fault until I started seeing it in Firefox and other browsers as well. It turned out that Textify was freaking out trying to parse all that text.
If you’re ever using Chrome on a page and your mouse starts moving slower and slower, and you think you’re dying, just exit Textify and see if that clears it up.
No disrespect to Textify, it’s a useful app. Just doesn’t love very long web pages.
yes yes yes yes yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
