How to copy the current URL in Chrome? I was sure in the version prior to 18.0 you could fiddle around and long press on the URL in the address bar and get a menu to copy the current URL.

I just updated Chrome, now if I long press it I just get the magnifying glass which is incredibly frustrating. How can I copy the current URL to the clipboard in the Chrome browser?

Chrome 18.0.1025469
Android 4.0.4
Sony Xperia P
Turns out I was doing it wrong (well at least on my my ROM).

You need to perform two double-taps.


Double tap the URL. The first tap will select all of the URL and the second will deselect it and give you the text cursor and that little text selection tab helper thing.
Double tap the URL again to bring up the menu.


Or you can just keep quickly tapping until the copy menu appears. I find this whole process to be a bit unusual.

Other people are saying that they can long press to copy, so not sure if the above is specific to Sony ROMs.
