Select and copy part of the text from a link in Safari
I made the extension.



Because I don't want to pay $100 a year for Apple's Developer program, this extension has to be reloaded each time Safari is restarted.

I never quit Safari though so I am safe ;)



To install and use it:


Make sure 'Show Develop menu in menu bar' is enabled in Safari preferences.





Clone my extension from GitHub

git clone https://github.com/theonlygusti/shift-to-select.git
open -a Finder shift-to-select






Open the Extension Builder, Develop > Show Extension Builder.





Add an extension.





Choose the one you cloned from GitHub
