# Adding a copy and past button ?

 * Hi micropat,
 * Would it be possible to add a “copy and paste” button separately, to add the 
   title and URL info on the clipboard ?
 * So people who have activated the tracking protection and who therefore wouldn’t
   get the buttons displayed, could still have that one showing and easily copy 
   and past the relevant info when logging into their social network account ?

 * It’s possible for developers to roll their own service and make the custom service
   [available in the plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-to-any/#how%20can%20i%20add%20a%20custom%20share%20button%3F).
 * As for a site workaround to Firefox’s optional Tracking Protection feature, you
   can cache AddToAny’s script by enabling the plugin’s “Cache AddToAny locally 
   with daily cache updates” in Settings > AddToAny > Advanced Options.
 * For most websites the ‘local cache’ option is not recommended, but since you’re
   probably familiar with performance tradeoffs (e.g. decentralized networks), the
   local cache feature might be perfect for your site. 🙂

 * Thanks for your suggestions, Micropat.
 * I am not looking to make the social networks buttons appear with a local cache
   even if users have activated the tracking protection feature though, because 
   it would upset them, I think.
 * Is there a way the data-a2a-title + data-a2a-url could show under the social 
   networks buttons and still be displayed even when the buttons are hidden by the
   tracking protection, so users could still easily find what to copy and past to
   share the article ?

 * Right now there’s not a straightforward way to display those values for copying.(
   The CSS `content` property _almost_ works, but the text wouldn’t be copyable.)
   A JavaScript developer could make it work for a site, but care must be taken 
   care to avoid page choppiness upon content insertion.

 * Thanks for your advice, micropat.
 * When I have more time, I’ll try to remember what I once knew about JavaScript
   to make it work, then. 😉
 * What do you mean by “page choppiness upon content insertion”, though ?
