I am looking for a browser extension (preferably Chrome), script or Windows 7 program that modifies the behavior of Google Spreadsheets so that whenever a cell is selected its content is copied into the clipboard.
This userscript will auto-copy the cell's contents once it becomes active; it's not exactly what you want, but it does what you want at the expense of another click.
// ==UserScript==
// @name Google Sheets auto copier
// @namespace http://stackexchange.com/users/4337810/%E1%94%95%E1%96%BA%E1%98%8E%E1%95%8A
// @version 0.9
// @description Auto copies cell contents when it is active

// @match *://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/*
// @require https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8/jquery.min.js
// @grant GM_setClipboard
// ==/UserScript==
setTimeout(function() {
$('div[class="cell-input"]').on('click', function() {
GM_setClipboard($(this).text());
});
}, 1000);
- Install Tampermonkey (before you use this because the script relies on
GM_setClipboard
and Tampermonkey provides support for that). - Install the script
